Shantaram was on my Easter reading list but books that become an effort to read somehow "mistakenly" get mis-laid! I devour a book a day on holiday but not many get finished in day to day life...and Shantaram was one of those! I had such high hopes but didnt make it past chapter 4. The broken english just got irritating so next on the list is Legend of Suicide by David Vann...book reviews claim I will be so engrossed I may want to sue the author for lack of sleep...
