Reddit mentions of The White Tiger: A Novel

I loved these books for their beautiful writing and narrative structure:

• Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
  
• The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz
  
• In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje
  
  Other suggestions, also well written but not quite in the same class as the ones above:
  
  
• Tell a Thousand Lies by Rasana Atreya
  
• 
  The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
  
• Anything by Jane Austen. Though the stories were a bit romantic for my taste, her writing style is just brilliantly precise.
  
• pretty much anything by Chuck Palahniuk. Note these may be more aggressively written, but I still find the narrative structure of Rant to be pretty awesome.

(Read not the book, but reviews of the actual people living in Mumbai who say the truth is harsher than what is on that book)

Just restarted The White Tiger for what seems like the millionth time. For some reason I always get bored with that book and start reading something else.

Also reading the Southern Vampire series for fun.

A lot of good ones have already been said but here are a few less famous ones...

A Farewell to Alms

The Mystery of Capital

The White Tiger: A Novel

I also really loved A Suitable Boy. I think it's brilliant.

For a completely contrasting look at India, I recommend the white tiger by Aravind Adiga.

I think The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is absolutely brilliant, one of the best novels of the last decade.

White Teeth is another really wonderful book about multiculturalism and immigrant life that really stands out.

For a rip-roaring old-fashioned adventure yarn, you can't do better than
Sea of Poppies.

Finally for some superior storytelling and brilliant narrative experimentation try Cloud Atlas or Ghostwritten
