Not a bad batting average, at least according to the The Hindustan Times I've read three of the books they list: The God of Small Things, The Interpreter of Maladies, and A House for Mr. Biswas.
I noticed they left off A Fine Balance, by Rohinton Mistry, and The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri. But, other books by Mistry and Lahiri make the list. Anyway, maybe the fair minded folks at The Hindustan Times figure that books featured in Oprah's Book Club and made into big budget Hollywood movies, respectively, have already gotten enough press.

I have to say that I'm more of a fan of Interpreter of Maladies, than The Namesake, which I felt was uneven for a novel. She's hawt, too. Did they mention that?
That's fair, but I do think the A Fine Balance belongs up there. If you don't mind the fact that it might make you want to open a vein.
Sadly, they did not comment on her Lahiri's hotness . . . but, that's what I rely on you for, D.
