Subject: RE: BS: What book are you reading right now
from the ever-increasing stack: "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri -- detailed renderings of Bengali immigrant experience, and way excellent prose.
"Die 13 1/2 Leben des Kaept'n Blaubaer" by Walter Moers -- a long story which begins in a nutshell :-)
