- Culture VultureBusman's holiday
I'm off on holiday to India on Wednesday morning – have passport, visa, travellers' cheques and spanking new rucksack, but with less than 48 hours to go, I'm still dithering about my reading list. I'd love to read something to do with the country while I'm there, but it's not an area of literature I know much about, so – and now we come to the point – what I'm really after are some personal recommendations. I've read quite a bit of the obvious stuff – Rushdie, Seth, VS Naipaul, Rohinton Mistry, Arundhati Roy – over the years; can anyone suggest where I should go from here? All recommendations gratefully received - I'm currently wallowing in a lather of indecision.
