though most of you have suggested Arundathi Roy's
GOST (ghost!! heh) I still dont find it amusing cos as far as every asian goes, it is the story of his grandparents or great grand parents in their village!!!
It may have fascinated the Europeans and Americans as this story is something new to them. I personally feel that 'The God of small things' is commendable only for its excellent use of the English language written by a good interpreter of Indian lifestyle!!!
I'm a fan of Ayn Rand too : I suggest 'We the living' by her. It is a pessimistic point of view of life
