THE LISTS discussion

"The White Tiger" - By Aravind Adiga is the winner of the 2008 Man Booker Prize. Its adventurous plot is the main reason I picked it off the shelf. The adventure of a poor urchin in India rising up to become a rich entrepreneur; the difficulties he faces and the sufferings he endures. A tale all about wanting something badly enough to go the distance.
