Strand

I've never been a fan of The Strand book sales. They are always crowded, unorganized and the discounts aren't too great either. This time round though, I did find it enjoyable. I got a few good bargains and picked up some interesting books.



Vile Bodies - Evelyn Waugh The Informers - Bret Easton Ellis The War of the Worlds - HG Wells

You're Only As Good As Your Next One - Mike Medavoy So Many Cinemas - BD Garga Tim, An Indecent Obsession, The Ladies Of Missalonghi - Colleen McCullough

Asterix In Britain Asterix and the Goths Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield

Wild Town - Jim Thompson Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals - Robert M Pirsig



Now I need to get Suketu Mehta's Maximum City. I had read the first hundred pages at my cousin's place and was simply blown away.

    _Vile Bodies_ is a masterpiece and I have promised myself that it will always be on my British Novel syllabus. Are you a fan of Waugh?

    How much was Wild Town? I didn't see it during my 10 min run around the place. I too picked up So Many Cinemas.

    I think it was about Rs 240 - 260. There were quite a few copies available.
