the namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri so i saw the previews for the movie and i just thought it looked like a deeply involved story that the book would be a much better way to go with the story. its about...

I didn't get to read this yet but I had to read her Interpreter of Maladies (book of short stories) for my one class and I really enjoyed it.

see it mentioned on the book how she won a nobel prize for that book and i wanted to read it, but i wasnt sure whether or not it was short stories.
