Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
This week’s topic is ‘Books That Take Place in Another Country’…I decided to go with India.
1.Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
2. The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
3.Life of Pi by Yann Martel
4. Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie
5. Mahabharata
6.Everybody Loves a Good Drought by P.Sainath (nonfiction)
7. Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (memoir)
8. Dongri To Dubai : Six Decades of The Mumbai Mafia by S. Hussain Zaidi (nonfiction)
9. The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
10. Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
Where are you traveling this week? Happy TTT!
Look like nice picks! I’m only really familiar with the Jungle Book, but I did think Life of PI looked good. Oh and I saw the movie version of Eat, Pray, Love. Fascinating country, I’d like to read more about it!

Life of Pi is good, it will surprise you! I’d love to learn more myself, it’s such a big country with a lot of history and culture!

I love all of Jhumpa Lahiri’s books. That’s an excellent choice. I just read a really good book set in India, called Girls Burn Brighter.
