'Oh, wow', said Liz.
'Is it any good?' I said.
He gave me a patronizing look. 'Good? This is the Gita we're talking about, here. I mean, is the bible any 'good'?' He made the inverted commas with his fingers.
'Dunno. I've never read it. I expect it's got a few good bits.'
He turned to Liz, ostentatiously addressing his comments away from me.
'It is the book. It explains everything you need to know about India. You can't come here and not read it.'
'I thought the Lonely Planet was the book. Is the Bhagavad Gita better than the Lonely Planet, then? Are the prices more to-up-date?'
They both ignored me."
