Arvind Adiga. True to tradition within 30 pages the man makes you feel depressed & sad through the guise of so-called-humor.
why do prize winning books have to be about underbellies and sadness? Is it to perpetrate the 'true' story or is it for the sake of pseudo-intellectualism?
Now that I've kept the book down I wonder when I'll pick it up. The extract was good goading me to buy it at a crossing today afternoon for Rs50 (against my better judgment). I wonder its worth it. But for me, its definitely better than an original 375 copy.

With economic downturn hopefully the focus will shift to awarding happier times, since happy times meant sad books.
