the new word is RED

i just finished a very very unusual, exciting and an excellent book-MY NAME IS RED-by orhan pamuk. we would've probably never heard his name hadn't he got the nobel this year. but thank god we did. this book is one of the most interesting reads i have had in recent times. mystery...romance(no sex-sorry to disappoint!!!:)..lots and lots of historical facts and legends...and a very detailed look at the islamic miniaturist artistry style at the height of the ottoman rule in turkey..
if you trust me--
YOU MUST READ THIS!!!

i forgot to mention-the best bit about this book is the style.a very novel way of presenting a story-in the first person, but not as simple as u think.if u dont think so-pick it up for urself-its for Rs. 225 only!!!
btw...i got it as a gift-and i love it!!one of the best gifts in recent times!!!thank you!
