i'm trying to recall books which i read while traveling. here's what i've come up with, many of which are either by indian authors or related to experiences in india:
anita jain - marrying anita
elizabeth gilbert - eat pray love (of course. preferred the movie to her non-hilarious tone in the book)
john harris - the backpacker (terrible.)
ralph steadman - the joke's over (fascinating portrayal of a friendship's ups and downs)
kiran desai - the inheritance of loss (unfinished - got distracted by oz series!)
mark haddon - a spot of bother (read before and wanted something humorous)
joanna trollope - the men and the girls (read long time ago)
lydia millet - oh pure and radiant heart (overall interesting, however plodding at times)
douglas adams - the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
charles bukowski - women (pure filth! but i love bukowski)
greg mortenson - three cups of tea (read right after i was in leh - extremely similar terrain)
yann martel - life of pi
aravind adiga - the white tiger
suketu mehta - maximum city
sarah macdonald - holy cow (loved this book! great introduction to india)
