For the book lovers: Should I buy this book...?

Question

Hi everyone. I just went to the book exchange, and I was going to swap some books for:
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy and
Mrs. Dalloway by Viginia Woolfe

I haven't read either, so I'm just asking for people's opinions on either book, why they liked it and (optional... but everythings optional!) what the book is about. AND should I buy it/exchange for it? And don't worry about the books that i'm exchanging them for (I wouldn't read them anyway).

And also, maybe some common books that are found in book exchanges that you guys like and think I should try? That would be awesome.

Thanks so much!!! :)

The God of Small Things is a great book, all about life in India and the lives of two twins and their family. I really liked it, it's unusual and pretty original.

I haven't read Mrs. Dalloway but it's pretty dark, examining the standards women were held to in those times and how this affects the person. Meant to be a great novel.
