Is the Hmong community supposed to be proud when a Hmong woman made it as a NBA dancer or an NFL cheerleader? ???

What if she made it as a big time pornstar like Tera Patrick making millions of dollars a year? ;)

Oh...and by the way, Tera Patrick is half Thai...and she used to live in Fresno and even Merced...repre senting Asian pride and Merced. O0

Books & Magazines / Re: "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga

Sounds like this will be a good read. Have you read any other books by other Indian authors? Any you would suggest?

I have read many books by East Indian authors. They wrote some of the most beautiful, heart wrenching, and poetic books and probably has no rivals except the great Russian classic authors such as Tolstoy and Dostoevsky.

Having said that Aravind Adiga is not one of them...and his "White Tiger" is unlike any other Indian novel/book you've ever read.

The most popular East Indian writer today, at least the most well-known, is probably Jhumpa Lahiri. Her book "The Namesake" was also made into a major motion picture.

Vikas Swarup's book "Q & A" aka "Slumdog Millionaire" was also made into a movie and even won the Academy Award for Best Picture. The book is very different from the movie.

But I have to say the best literary masterpiece and one of the most beautiful book I've ever read period is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's "Sister of My Heart." If you like to read and you have a heart and you are not moved by "Sister of My Heart" somethings seriously wrong with you. I'm a guy and the ending had me cry like a little baby...but happy tears though. :) "Sister of My Heart" is also very funny and suspenseful as well. This book is mightily recommended. O0

This is one of the best book I've ever read. It's unlike anything I've ever read before.

Highly recommended... Aravind Adiga is a literary genius who's not afraid to offend anyone. 8)
