BTW: Totally failed on my summer reading list. Like... entirely.
I'm reading Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things right now and it's really excellent. It's part achronological vignettes of a big family--lots told through the vast imaginations of children-- and part larger, political portraiture of civil war. The author has a highly stylized way of verbing nouns and nouning verbs and such and plays with captalization. I like that for the most part but I think the character-driven parts would be more successful if they were more pure and stripped of some of the stylization.
