English, August: An Indian Story by Upamanyu Chatterjee

4.0

I was well over 100 pages into this book before I could figure out if I liked it or not. Eventually I decided I did, and kept going. I'm so glad I did, because it is a funny book--sort of in that dry, catch you off guard British way. The main character is a civil servant in India who cares more about getting stoned than working. You'll laugh out loud and scratch your head increduously at the same time while reading this book.
