shweetie pie, most people do find tolstoy and even thomas hardy verbose.  though i loved jude the obscure and tess of d'ubervilles, i found the return of the native by hardy  maddeningly verbose!!  another author i absolutely think is wonderful is dostovsky..but again he is soooooooooo long winded in his narration....

πŸ˜†πŸ˜† personally, i would settle down for grisham any day over some of the heavy duty literal authors.....grisham, patterson, sidney sheldon...the list goes on and onπŸ˜†

hey shweetie, i will suggest some authors like george mikes...he is hilarious. you must try reading some of the old books of victoria holt...there is mystrey, murder and romance in them...books like shivering sands, the serpent woman, legend of the seventh virgin, night of the seventh moon...they are all interesting...romantic and has a touch of crime to it..., check these out...will tell you more as i remember them...

I agree with you Jaya.  I rarely have trouble completing any book.  A suitable boy was with me for months and find it too verbose. 
It is a good book but would pick Golden gate much more.  

really, i am surprised to hear this.  i loved it.......i read it while i was in india and it was awesome.  some parts were too verbose as you said but i just scanned those.

A suitable boy was written on a lazy summer afternoon...bahut aaram se...koi jaldi nahi thi Vikram Seth ko...thats why he goes on and on...but there is something in that book...an old world charm...which makes me pick it up ( and believe me thats a task πŸ˜ƒ ) again and again...I am determined to finish this one... πŸ˜›

Talking of fiction...I havent been able to read a Robert Ludlam till date! 😳
