Just skipping through the thread here guys so not sure if these 2 have been mentioned yet
At the minute Im reading
Marching Powder which is a great true story of one time Cocaine smuggler and his time spent in a famous Bolivian Jail...really is a great story which i am finding fascinating. Also Ill be travelling to South America in Feb and will be stopping there for a visit.
But one book I read about a year was just amazing which was
Shanteram . This book just grabbed me by the bol*ox and never let go.
AFAIK Johnny Deep has bought the rights to this book and intends to make it into a film soon, maybe ye have all heard about it but I could not put this book down at all- it cause me to miss a flight from Barcelona to Ireland about 3 years ago (and i was about 30 foot away from the check in counter 2 hours ahead of schedule...but thats a different story)
Has anyone read/heard of it?
