Indian Readers discussion

As we had nominations pouring through the roof last month, we have decided to continue with the genre-based nominations.

So, let's get started!

HERE ARE THE RULES --->
★ Please nominate a title that pertains to the selected genre.
★ Please suggest a worthy title for the group to read as a whole.
★ Please avoid nominating if you feel you won't be able to read and discuss the book in the thread.

A few more simple rules:
★ No promotions of any kind
★ Please avoid books already read by the group. You may access the group bookshelf to see the list of books read here:
Please don't make History repeat itself
★ Try and nominate books that can easily be read in a month. ( this means chunksters with 700 or more pages better be avoided).
★ Moderators have the final say in selecting a book for the poll.

We will put up the polls around mid-July.

Aaaand the theme for this month is....
