A Sunny Shady Life
by Sachinn Garg

Sunny is on the lookout for name, fame and game(girls).His forte is his expertise in cute crimes. He is not afraid to use them to get his love.The love is two year senior Ridhima Mahindra (with everything in the right size).But then he has to take care of his career at Delhi College of Engineering.Stealth, fraud, deceit, romance, creativity see him muster up enough money for an internship that puts him on a flight to Paris, France.

In Paris, his roommate is Narayanan Ramanan, an IIT Chennai student, who is definitely not schizophrenic, but there about.Narayanan's fundes on life and intelligence leave Sunny with a bad taste in his mouth, which is reinforced by the kiss of a thirty five year old French prostitute Melina Alfarandi.

Empire Falls
by Richard Russo

Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe it?s Janine, Miles? soon-to-be ex-wife, who?s taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it?s the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town?and seems to believe that ?everything? includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace.

But Mel's got her hands full when she has to look after Honesty Bloomfield, a sullen, withdrawn girl who is travelling across America with her family...
