The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh
5.0

Ya know, Ghosh is such a specific sort-of writer. You are either going to love his style or hate it. It's just so "This happened. That happened. And this other thing happened" with very little internal monologue, character building, or really story telling. Essentially, his books are not to be read a stories about people but the story of a country. I normally hate that style of writing because it's very emotionless but I love Ghosh. His books are just so smack full of research and interesting things, I end up spending more time on Wikipedia and Google than reading, and man...that's a good thing.
