I just bought a copy of Aravind Adiga's Between the Assassinations at Kinokuniya KLCC. The orangey yellow cover's smashing! They've lots of copies of it! I also bought Kamila Shamsie's Burnt Shadows (the American edition), Michael Thomas's Man Gone Down (the half-title page was torn, though!), Colm Tóibín's Brooklyn and Paul Theroux's Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: On the Tracks of The Great Railway Bazaar. I was a tad disappointed they did not have the latest copy of The New York Review of Books! (In fact, they did not have any copies at all.) I hope they bring in Marilynne Robinson's paperback edition of Home (and Francesca Kay's paperback edition of An Equal Stillness) soon.
Glad to know you found the books you wanted. I am planning to get Colm Tóibín's Brooklyn and Anne Michael's The Winter Vault. And a collection of essays by Gore Vidal.
I bought Ellen Feldman's Scottsboro and Philip Hensher's The Northern Clemency (both paperbacks) at MPH Mid Valley.
I recently bought John McGahern's first novel, The Barrack, part of the Faber First promotion.
