Austere, that is the word that I feel aptly describes Seth's style. All the quality authors I have read nobody comes anywhere near to him in the simplicity levels of his writing.
Anybody who relates reading to an experience of sipping a glass of cold milk should opt for Seth.

I gave 3 to Two Lives.But ratings are relative and my reading experience is like seated along the bank of a stream with your feet in the stream.The water too cold and you need to take them out every few minutes and then dip them again.
So Two Lives not my kind.
