Tentatively, that's the one. =)
Hiroaki Protagonist: an eclectic mix, and all male authors. Will I like them too?
ReplyDeleteSyl: I noticed it was spam hacked, so what happened huh?
Dunno leh, just happen that all are male. The only female author I remember reading it Sue Townsend e.g Ghost Children + Adrian Mole diaries
ReplyDeleteSince you liked Shantaram so much, I'll recommend another book which I'm sure that you will like ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
Cheers,
