^ his books look interesting! what's the correct order in which to read them? is his writing more a non-fiction or fiction type of work?
lol, I don't think it's necessary to read his books in a 'correct order'. I only know that his first book was "In Xanadu", and his latest book is "The Last Mughal". And if I remember correctly, "The White Mughals" would be his second last book till date. "The City of Djinns" is probably the first book that he wrote about Indian/Mughal history. And it's fascinating.
He is a non-fiction writer, mostly he writes about history.Even in books like "From the Holy Mountain", where he is travelling across several countries, he is basically researching about specific subjects. I haven't read this book yet.
Then there is "The Age of Kali", which has essays about both Pakistan and India.
I haven't read them all, and it doesn't matter whichever one you read first. They are all fantastic. Of course it makes sense to read "The City of Djinn" first..And to read "The White Mughals" before "The Last Mughal", as the white mughals came 'first', in a chronological sense.
