The Moor's Last Sigh

Second reading: absolutely phenomenal. One of the best things about this book is how the author plays with language. He is writing in English, but the word play and sentence construction are unlike any english-language novel I've ever encountered before or since; it feels distinctly Indian, and it is glorious.

First reading: read this years ago in my Intro to the Novel course during my first semester of college. Can't remember what I thought of it aside from enjoying it.
