Book #24 - Shantaram
A couple of weeks ago, I read Shantaram... Before I knew I was going to India...
It's by Gregory David Roberts and although quite long (900+), I found it to be a solid read. It's a true story based on the author's escape from Australian prison and his subsequent involvement with the powerful mafia of Mumbai.
Besides just being a fascinating story, I also think that some of the tidbits included will make my own journey that much more interesting. I wish I could go to Mumbai and see some of the places he discusses. Anyway, I would recommend this book highly.
