I'm currently drooling over the picture of chocolate panna cotta with amaretto whipped ... ... Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies (longlisted for the Booker last year), and, from the bargain shelves, a hardcover copy of The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid.

I bought this book on a whim yesterday, and it rocketed right up to the top of my TBR mountain. A quick, gripping read.

Hey, Teelgee . . . . over on the Commonwealth Prize thread you made a comment about The Reluctant Fundamentalist, and how you didn't like the POV.

I enjoyed The Reluctant Fundamentalist for its story but it is not as good as all the hype would have you believe!
... both The Line of Beauty and A Dry White Season very much and had wondered why they weren't there in the first edition. The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a good additon too.
All in all this edition seems to have incorporated more of the books already present in the various non-english ... ... time as a teenager. That's one that I haven't reread though, think I'll do that soon. How about a book from the new list: The Reluctant Fundamentalist anyone? Hey Cerievans,
What was your take on The Reluctant Fundamentalist? 40. The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid I'm thrilled that they added the reluctant fundamentalist. A very important book. (And a very fast read for me since I simply couldn't put it down and was practically holding my breath by the end - it was so exciting.) I haven't looked at the new list and I'm a little nervous about it.. Still, ... ... forward to this too! June's books were:

The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid
I seem to be getting a taste for short, sparingly written novels.

Trish, you are very bad for the size of my wishlist. Had to add both The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Love in the Kingdom of Oil to it. ... costuming.
>67 I read Love in the Kingdom of Oil this year also, must have a post somewhere on my thread.
re: The Reluctant Fundamentalist, I enjoyed it very much but wouldn't say I loved it. Have you read The Yacoubian Building? Hey Cariola,
That's so funny cause I was in the midst of writing my review for The Reluctant Fundamentalist and I kept getting interrupted. So by the time I posted it we must have missed each other. Anyway I just posted it above. I hope the review helps. Trish, what did you think of The Reluctant Fundamentalist? I have a copy but haven't read it yet. I was wondering if it was one my freshmen might enjoy. ... translated does not mean its bad. I will add Dark City to my netflicxs queue as I like Jennifer Connelly.

Falling man by Delillo
Measuring the world by Kehlman
Half of a yellow sun by Adichie
The reluctant fundamentalist
(touchstones are wonky)
The last nine are recently published novels, the first six are older.
The list definitely seems more ... #5 I agree that the transformation in The Reluctant Fundamentalist is not religious. His bitterness (rage?) seems to be more founded on being an unwitting victim of 911 at a time when he was struggling to maintain his Eastern identity and conflicted about his love of the U.S.
#12, #13 - Now ... ... Half of a Yellow Sun, The Road, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and Life of Pi. In addition, I would suggest:

Admittedly, I thought the Reluctant Fundamentalist a nice companion to The Yacoubian Building which also features a character who becomes a fundamentalist.
Don't you find the choice of names for the character interesting? Changez? Even if it may not have the same meaning as it alludes to in ... Pakistan
The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid
Late one evening in Lahore, Changez, a bearded Pakistani man, spots a mysterious American stranger. He guides the man to a streetside cafe and gradually spins out the story of his rise to the top of the American dream and his ... Wow, like others I've only read The Reluctant Fundamentalist. I hear teelgee's TBR pile erupting and second it! Of all those I've only read The Reluctant Fundamentalist which I thought was good but not great (I did not like the POV).

7. Undead and Unemployed by Mary Janic ... I've left Nigeria and have journeyed to Pakistan with The Reluctant Fundamentalist. I have several other books on the go, but this one is too gripping to put down. Finished Half of a Yellow Sun, which was excellent. I'll definitely look for more books by Adichie. Started The Reluctant Fundamentalist which I'm finding absolutely gripping. Very interesting writing style as well. Thoroughly enjoying it. Also have started Eat, Pray, Love, Turn of the S ... ... Got two yesterday and three today: People of the Book (who among us could resist that title?) by Geraldine Brooks, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Suite Francaise, The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig, and The Gift by Peter Carey. Still have over $70 left, so I feel I spent my ... ... parts. It all comes together in the end, but it was a major distraction for me. Stick with it though!

I finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist this morning and moved right on to The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama. Looks like a quiet read, which I'm happy for today. 63. The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid. Not a great read - I got weary of the second person/conversational POV, it's a very awkward and difficult technique and not pulled off very well here. I expected more substance to this book. ... a first read for me, so what do I know of new translation???). Also on deck, more Jane Austen, a couple of mysteries, The Reluctant Fundamentalist and more Steinbeck. That's just for starters! 2008 will be another good reading year, I'm sure. Especially since I'm retiring in October ... Just finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist, which was excellent. Next is The Kite Runner The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid:

On my immediate list:

The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid
Mr. Pip by Lloyd Jones
The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
Accordion Crimes by Annie Proulx
The Mas ... ... Much like the show, it had me laughing out loud as I was driving.
Now I am torn between doing something more serious (The Reluctant Fundamentalist or The Reluctant Mr. Darwin) or doing a re-listen of Local Custom. 104. The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid - A young Pakistani man strikes up a conversation with an American in Lahore. He shares the story of the time he spent in the U.S. as events which seem to be beyond the control of both of them unfold.
The narrative style of the book worked ... Two in the mail from a friend on the other side of the country:

The Accidental by Ali Smith
The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Moshid Hamid
The Dowry Bride by Shoban Bantwal
And I received a book swap item in today's mail: Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe I read The Yacoubian Building because of a LT mention. Specially, someone said it was a better book than The Reluctant Fundamentalist and that comment along sent me off to google to find a synopsis of the story. Intrigued, I bought a copy and the rest, as they say, is history! ... but hopefully one of them will be a stunner...
I'm underwhelmed by the inclusion of On Chesil Beach, Mister Pip, and The Reluctant Fundamentalist and very disappointed by the exclusion of Gifted and What Was Lost. Wouldn't it have been nice to have a first-timer on the short list? Oh ... ... yet?
Here we go:
Darkmans by Nicola Barker (Fourth Estate)

The True History of the Kelly Gang, also from PBS
The Reluctant Fundamentalist, directly from another LT member.
I love LT and PBS! Woo hoo! (13) The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid - This is a quick, page turning read. On the one hand, an interesting (and appropriately one-sided) conversation between Pakistan and the United States, on the other, oddly unsatisfying in some way I can't quite put my finger on. It's ... I got distracted from The Yacoubian Building in Cairo and am in Lahore with The Reluctant Fundamentalist; but that's going to be very quickly read - it is a fast-reading page-turner.
I'm also about to tour India with this month's Poetry Magazine's Indian Poetry Portfolio (I've started a ... ... listed books are available here. The Welsh Girl has been out here for several months; Mister Pip, Consolation, and The Reluctant Fundamentalist are, too. That said, I was in Border's today and couldn't find them, although they are listed online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Border's ... A_musing, while The Reluctant Fundamentalist shows a personal transformation it is less religious than one would think (or, in my case, expect). I'm tempted to say it is almost nationalistic but then that is not quite the word either. ... I've almost picked up The Yacoubian Building a couple of times; the other one I keep thinking about picking up is The Reluctant Fundamentalist.
Lindsacl, one of the things I found interesting about the book was that it was entirely in her head - she resisted the temptation to get ... #43, avaland, I actually haven't read The Reluctant Fundamentalist, but I did thoroughly enjoy The Yacoubian Building.
#45, WholeHouseLibrary, Welcome to the Anne Fadiman fan club! If you haven't yet read Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader, RUN, do not walk, to your nearest ... ... all three - very different - were very good.
And I agree with rebeccanyc, that The Yacoubian Building is better than The Reluctant Fundamentalist ... I’ve read anything better (from the long list) yet, but it’s early days. The subject matter and actual storyline of The Reluctant Fundamentalist intrigued and impressed me, but I found the narrative concept so contrived and as a result very, very irritating.
I’m halfway ... I have left Lahore, Pakistan (The Reluctant Fundamentalist) and have been in Bougainville, the largest of the Solomon Islands off New Guinea with Mister Pip, by Lloyd Jones. The beginning of the book doesn't seem to indicate the specific setting so I begged Amandameale for help (book was her ... >90 the audio of Middlesex is indeed fabulous!
I've finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist which I found a thoughtful, very good read - but I wasn't wowed by it. I have started Mister Pip last night . >59 yes, that's the first thing I noticed also. Very refreshing.
I have read On Chesil Beach and just finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist, which is good - thoughtful - but didn't wow me. I've just started "Mr. Pip" which amandameale had recommended previously (touchstone not coming up with ... ... Docx (Picador)

The Clef ... I gave up on reading The Reluctant Fundamentalist. When I heard the author interviewed on NPR, I was sold on reading it...but after about 30 pages, I am finding that the way in which the book is narrated bothers me a bit. So, reluctantly, I've put it down, and picked up I Know This Much Is True ... Has anyone read The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid? I started it this evening, and so far, I'm not enthralled with it. Does anyone have any opinions on it? ... recommend it enough!!
After that, I'm thinking of starting either The Thirteenth Tale (Diane Setterfield) or The Reluctant Fundamentalist (Mohsin Hamid) -- does anyone recommend one over the other?
