nope, it probably reflects your age (plus, as others have pointed out, poor store selection).

when in india, the cassettes i look after populate the ‘old movies’ section.

Come on. This is too much. WHat about DVG’s Manku Thimmana Kagga? It is one of the foremost Kannada present to this generation. Also Bendre, et al

HPN, Manjunath, my point wasn’t about bookstores and what collections they possess. Rather, I was pointing out the paucity of interesting works that are coming out in Kannada. I felt like buying either old Kannada kavyas that i don’t own or some recent scholarship on those works. Except for a couple of new novels, there wasn’t anything that I found compelling among the books published in the last six months. I doubt whether a trip to Ankita or Sahitya Bhandara would make me feel any different.

Weren’t you guys at the wrong place looking for Kannada books? As HPN said, try Ankitha or Sahitya Bhandara. IMHO Sapna Bookstall is a ‘Marwari’ operation who would sell books by their weight:)

Ankitha and Sahithya Bhandara have good collection of Kannada books.
