Er, I was busy almost finishing a terrific book.

So I’ve got nothing’ again. But - I’ve got a recommendation for you. Read Shantaram, by Gregory David Roberts. It will keep you busy for a bit. It’s 930 pages of moderately small print, but it’s an absolute treat. It’s the semi-autobiographical tale of the author, who escaped from an Australian prison in the mid-1980’s and made it to Bombay. Once in India, he buckled many swashes - or swashed many buckles. Whichever. It’s a terrific read - a love story, war story, crime story, and finally toss in a soupcon of philosophy. I’ve got 60 pages to go.

Brad Pitt or Jonny Depp or someone like that is going to do the movie.

See ya.
