I like the Indian Authors challenge, if only to be able to add that category to my sidebar! Plus, I live in New York City so my regional authors don’t need any more help

Well, Ray is more known for his films (and known worldwide), but his books are not bad, too…

Jhumpa Lahiri is another famous one (along with Arundhati Roy), though I haven’t read any yet.

As I said, you can change the meme to your regional authors if you want…

Thanks for the tag! I am embarrassed to admit that I have little to no familiarity with Indian Authors, apart from having heard of Jhumpa Lhahiri.

And even more embarrassing because I recognize Satyajit Ray’s name because he’s a filmmaker–and I’ve never seen any of his films, somehow.

So this is a very, very welcome suggestion, and one I’m happy to take you up on.

I was planning to send a meme your way. It is basically “Indian Authors tag“, the main aim of which is basically to write about Indian authors whose books you have read/want to read (yes, I am an Indian).

But in your case, I would like you to change the tag to your regional writers. I found it a nice way to talk about Indian authors few have read about worldwide.

So, want to take up the changed tag?

Still, remembering and comparing passages and first lines is something. If I get this meme, I would spend about a week going through all the books I like just to finish it.

Oh, that passage was copied right from the book

First of all, nice meme…

Secondly, what a memory… I would never be able to remember passages and first lines of all books I read. Quotes is a different thing, though.
