Booksale Finds of the Week
Booksale haul. All for only 125 pesos.
I swear, Booksale has gifted me with way better and interesting reads than NB and Fullybooked combined.
- The Speech of Angels by Sharon Mass (and because I'm a sucker for stories set in India)

My Book Haul in India
My book haul in India. Got these at around 200-350 Rupees (150-260 PhP). Would have bought more if I got extra space on my backpack. (the two fictional Theroux books were set in India) and the one from Rabindranath Tagore (whose former house - now turned into a museum, we visited in Kolkata) is a collection of short stories.
The opening chapter of "The Granta Book of India" titled "Blood" is a gripping account of the infamous "Partition" event between Pakistan and India. I've a lot to learn still and I regret not buying more India-related literature.
"The Postmaster" - Rabindranath Tagore
"A story of Mughal India" - Timeri N. Murari
"The Great Railway Bazaar" - Paul Theroux
"A Dead Hand in Calcutta" - Paul Theroux
"The Granta Book of India" - Ian Jack
"The Elephanta Suite" - Jack Kerouac
