TSS: Books I bought today

After a long time, I went book buying. Infact I was itching to do so for a while now. I picked up those used books for a mere pittance (Rs 270 ~$5). Every Sunday there is a book Bazaar in the pavements Daryaganj which is in Old Delhi. I used to frequent that very often, almost once a month but today I went after one year or so.

I list my buys in no particular order, linking those to Amazon. As you can see of those are new authors/recent publications. Frankly I know nothing about those except for a couple or so. And if anyone knows anything, do let me know in the comment section.

1) Lake With No Name by Diane Wei Liang (2003)

2) Back When We Were Grownups by Anne Tyler (2001)

3) Stones From The River by Ursula Hegi (1994)

4) Mother of Pearl by Melinda Haynes (1999)

5) And This Too Shall Pass by E. Lynn Harris (1996)

6) The New York Trilogy (City of Glass, Ghosts, The Locket Room) by Paul Auster (1987)

7) The Manhattan Hunt Club by John Saul (2001)

8) Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett (1994)

9) The King's General by Daphne du Maurier (1947)

10) Kiss Me Again, Stranger (Collection of eight short stories) by Daphne du Maurier (1952)

So what do you think of my buys? Which one I ought to read first?
