I just finished reading this short novel called once upon a dream by Piranha. I would assume the author is from Singapore since there are quite a number of times where he mentioned about Singapore places and singlish. It was a fun read cos the protagonist, Dinesh is such a funny character. If you don't mind trying a Singaporean author, this would definitely be the book to start off with. It's simply hilarious, fun, interesting and mysterious. Read it and tell me how you think.
