Literature about India (updated)

Daniel I'm stuck in Delhi and have 15 Minutes left before I have to go to the Train station. So I thought I'd write down all the book recomendations about India I got so far:

- Sarah MacDonald - Holy Cow
This Book is a really great introduction to this crazy country here.

- Gregory David Roberts - Shantaram
A true strory about an Australian who fled from prison and landed in Bombay. Excellent read.

- Arundhati Roy - The God of Small Things
To be honest, I didn't like this book too much. It's written in a weird way, and I feel it's not really about India. It's a family story that could happen just anywere.

Chetan Bhagat - Five point Someone
Chetan Bhagat - One night @ the Callcenter
I really like Chetan Bhagat's books. Maybe because he's an engineer, maybe just because of the way he writes.

- Kalid Hussein - The Kite Runnter
- William Suthcliff (?) - Are You Experienced?
- Suketu Mehta (?) - Maximum City
(Didn't read them yet, but I have 4 weeks of travel still ahead of me...)
