Yay Shantaram, an amazing book. It got me interested in Bombay, and I just bought Sacred Games, a phenomenal detective novel, or more of a life of a detective and his city and the criminals he knows, which I liked enough that I just bought a copy for someone else, but not a Kindle copy, because she doesn't have an e-reader.
I also just bought, in hardcover because it's not available on e-reader, Maximum City, also about Mumbai (aka Bombay), but non-fiction. (I think that Shantaram is supposed to be based on fact, but it's a bit too sensational for me to totally believe it.)
