The whole point is that this kind of lit-blogging allows you a break from the mundaneness of conventional reviewing. You want a <I>Brick Lane</I> review, I'll send you the one I'd done 2 years ago. Promise your eyes will glaze over within seconds.Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1117096787985071302005-05-26T14:09:00.000+05:302005-05-26T14:09:00.000+05:30SaarAm right behind you in the line for Moon-Smile...Saar<BR/><BR/>Am right behind you in the line for Moon-Smile's bounty.

Now you must come to Mumbai soon, Jai, so we can all go and have some melting kababs together.<BR/><BR/>And for the interest of posterity, it must be noted that I bowled RD twice, while Chandrahas got him just once!<BR/><BR/>Your points about writing about books in a blog is spot on.
