The five dollar smile
These days I’m reading (among other things) Shashi Tharoor’s the five dollar smile. The stories are nice, short and honest. But all of them have this tinge of sadness to them that I can’t explain, moreso since Tharoor mentions in the preface that most of these stories were written between the ages 11 and 20 something.
Its a nice read, not particularly fantastic especially if you’re looking to get in a light spirit, but nice nonetheless.
