Sacred Games
by Chandra, Vikram
At turns a morality tale, a detective story, and a comprehensive overview of modern India, Chandra proves that modern Mumbai is not an easy place to live – the disparity between the levels of society is so great and the degree of political corruption so high, it’s a wonder that it all hasn’t collapsed yet. Yet, living within that disparity is Sartaj Singh – the Sikh detective struggling to find the moral high ground he knows must exist somewhere in his beloved city. With his evocative, eloquent writing style, Chandra peels back every layer of Indian society - with an unprecedented air of reality - revealing the humanity, faith, &power that makes Bombay tick. -Seth

The Art of Racing in the Rain
by Stein, Garth
I loved this book &think that you will, too. It’s a lovely novel told from the viewpoint of an aging dog named Enzo (after a famous, Italian racecar driver), who, after a lifetime of observing humans &watching too much TV, truly understands the human condition. As he watches his master, an up-and-coming race car driver named Denny, deal with life’s failures &successes he learns what it means to be human &is convinced that he’ll come back in his next life as a man. Well-written, &beautiful with plenty of humor at just the right moments keeps you turning the pages to the bittersweet end. Don’t read the ending of this book in a public place unless you don’t mind total strangers seeing you cry like a baby!

America America
by Canin, Ethan
From Ethan Canin, bestselling author of "The Palace Thief," comes a stunning novel, set in a small town during the Nixon era and today, about America and family, politics and tragedy, and the impact of fate on a young man's life.
In the early 1970s, Corey Sifter, the son of working-class parents, becomes a yard boy on the grand estate of the powerful Metarey family. Soon, through the family's generosity, he is a student at a private boarding school and an aide to the great New York senator Henry Bonwiller, who is running for president of the United States. Before long, Corey finds himself involved with one of the Metarey daughters as well, and he begins to leave behind the world of his upbringing. As the Bonwiller campaign gains momentum, Corey finds himself caught up in a complex web of events in which loyalty, politics, sex, and gratitude conflict with morality, love, and the truth.
"
America America" is a beautiful novel about America as it was and is, a remarkable exploration of how vanity, greatness, and tragedy combine to change history and fate.
