So, do you read all books nominated/awarded for Man Booker Prize?
I still haven't read The White Tiger...though a few excerpts I read from the book were interesting...
@Manivannan I have read White Tiger. At least I try to read each prize winning book. There is not enough time to read all the shortlisted ones. Thanks for showing your interest in knowing more.
I have been searching information by visiting several blogs and articles online. But this page has turned out to be the ultimate destination of my desired knowledge. This has no doubt really fulfilled my contention and for that I am thankful to the blogs owner! Regards.
