Noted Marathi writer V S Khandekar's famous book, Yayati, is one book the deputy CM simply adores. Two other titles which rank among his favourites are, like the first one, historical novels and are closely woven around Maharashtra's socio-political fabric -- Vishwas Patil's Panipat and Ranjit Desai's Swami. And yes, Bhujbal also found Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things immensely enjoyable.
