#unlikelyindianbooks on Twitter

A funny thing happened yesterday. @jhunjhunwala started a trending topic on Twitter yesterday called #unlikelyindianbooks. 

The responses came flying in quickly, some witty, some obvious, but very entertaining nonetheless. I wrote over 20 tweets of my own on the topic, in addition to reading through and laughing at everyone else's tweets, starting at around 11.00 and finally logging off at a little after 1.00 to go to bed. This was a fantastic end to a work day.
