"Not sure if this is a classic yet but it was certainly Literature. Not always easy to read but it was one I had to finish. "

"The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. A student of mine was reading it, so I told him I would read it too so that we could talk about it. I was completely mesmerized and lost in this book. "
