About meI work at a college. LT helps me locate books, get tag clouds, and develop ideas. I like discussing ideas, finding friends, and discovering new things.

Updo = hairstyle involving lots of long hair piled high up on the crown of the head. Special occasion look. Takes pins, insane amounts of hairspray, time, and somewhere north of $60 for (my) hairdresser.

Good to hear from you. You might also enjoy Tamarind Woman by Anita Rau Badami. It's the story of a woman's journey. While not feminist with a capital F, it is the story of one's woman making a way for herself. A few years ago I emersed myself in Indian lit and found I really loved it. The Hero's Walk; The Death of Vishnu; Sister of My Heart are among my favorites.

You mentioned we share and interest in Thrity Umrigar. I loved, loved, loved Bombay Times. Until I read it I never heard of the Parsi religion. I have fallen in love with Indian lit.

Friending doesn't really do anything on LibraryThing, it just helps you keep track of other people and what they are reading. Welcome to LibraryThing!
