I made Mark read the first page of Shantaram in Borders the other day, and I'm going to make him read the rest!

I'm keen to read it now after finding this on youtube for you, and see the movie.

how good is livejournal procrastination!

Fantastic find! Thank-you. I'm going to watch it now! I'm going to show my boyfriend this -- he'll be thrilled, he's a huge Gregory David Roberts/Shantaram fan.

Amazing, I finished reading it last night, it took me about a week... I couldn't stop, and I was so entranced by every part of the story. I agree with Riphertoshreds in regards to the setting and the attractiveness of his altruism. I like how he says that he didn't go there to do anything altruistic, it found him, and I hope that someday I have such an opportunity.

A week? You are a reading machine. It took me months.
