Is there more life in 19C India after The Far Pavilions? discussion

Punjabi Century is an autobiographical work by Prakash Tandon, it is quite colorful, and very interesting, and sheds an enlightening view upon Indian culture during the time of the British Raj, as he traces his life starting from a young boy. One of my favorite parts of this book was when he talked about the different Indian festivals which they celebrated. They all sounded quite wonderful.

The book is a very engaging book, and reads as well as a work of fiction, as non-fic, I know sometimes can come off with a bit of a dry feeling, but I really enjoyed reading this book.

Thanks for the suggestion Silver, I'll have to look for it. I just bought a like new copy for alibris.com for 1.99. Good deal!!!!!

I just received Punjabi Century, so I'm soon off to a new odyssey!

Careful Susan, you might form another reading habit. My plate's pretty full right now but I'll put it on my wish list for later. Library has it (are they good or what?).

I might have to stick to my 5 books at once! LOL no way!!!!!

I would love to live in the city and have access to The Carnegie Library. I know I would spend days and hours browsing through their collections. I have the same problem at libraries as I do with buying books, I can't help myself from leaving with a big stack that I know I can't read in the allotted time.

I had to stop using the library I once worked at, it was too much pressure. I would rather buy the book cheaply on the internet and have no constraints on when it has to be read.

Not me, if I lose interest I just return them and get them out again at a later date. I do all my browing here, Amazon and HFO and just place the holds when I'm in the mood to read them. It's saving me a ton of money.

Well I hope you enjoy the book.

You do remember that you were the one to invite me to this group, therefore you must accept some of the blame for my slide down this oh so slippery slope :)

I live to corrupt :)

LOL!!!
