Did anyone read A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry....another classic!
Also, just wanted to know if anyone read Siddhartha, by Hermon Hesse? I heard it's supposed to be brilliant but can't get a copy of it from my local bookshop.

Thanks, guys,
Ummm, I am assuming you are guys!!
Anyway, I will read the book and let you know what i think...I actually heard about the book when watching an interview on Oprah Winfrey. She was interviewing Russel Crowe (who I used to think was a smarmy, arrogant idiot) But, after watching the interview I was really impressed with him! He had actually brought the book, including a few others, with him on the show and told the audience that it was one of his all time fave books to read! Anyway, I was intrigued and have been trying to get a copy eversince.

By the way, there was a good movie made on the book by the same title with Shashi Kapoor and Simi Grewal.
