For the fourth year in a row, I am turning to silk listers for book recommendation this holiday season.
What have you read over the last year that has left a mark on you? What are you eagerly looking forward to reading over the Christmas/New Year's holidays? Past silk list recommendations have included such gems as: * Alice Albina's Empires of the Indus * Samanth Subramaniam's Following Fish * Sarnath Bannerjee's Barn Owl's Wondrous Capers, and * Devdutt Pattanaik's Myth=Mithya. * Aman Sethi's A Free Man Books that are easy to get a hold of in India (and more difficult elsewhere) preferred (but not required). Fiction and non-fiction recommendations are equally welcome. Some of the books that I read and enjoyed this year: The Man Within My Head, Pico Iyer Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, Art Spiegelman (an oldie, but I only got to it this year) The Rabbi's Cat, Joann Sfar (The Dungeon series is also highly recommended) Thaths -- Homer: Hey, what does this job pay? Carl: Nuthin'. Homer: D'oh! Carl: Unless you're crooked. Homer: Woo-hoo! Sudhakar Chandra Slacker Without Borders
