It has been a busy week for me, so I haven't had time to watch much television or be on the Internet. However I took time off to read, which is something I haven't done in a while. The book is called Shantahram. The man who wrote it lived these events but wrote the book as a novel. He escaped from prison to live in Bombay, India where the book takes place. Here, he learns to let go of his dark past and live in the present. The first line of the book is "It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while i was chained to a wall and being tortured."
Surprisingly the book has a lot of subtle spiritual aspects to it. Something many people could benefit from. Check it out. I'm only half way through it, but I love it so far. It's written by Gregory David Roberts and published in 2003 in Australia and New Zealand.
