those who know me real well will know that i don't read much. i get bored with words. i need visuals. visuals. visuals. but there are some five or six books that i love which i read over and over and over and over again. on the road for instance is something i've read more than twenty times. it's my default book where ever i go. sagar has been going on and on about this book Shantaram which he has been looking for forever. he finally found a copy in a bookstore in india. he's been wanting me to read it the thickness is quite intimidating. so one saturday evening, it finally happens. i couldn't find it in my heart to put it down. i can't stop thinking about it. i find myself getting all thrilled to go home early to go back to my reading. and getting up earlier every morning to read a page or two before i go to work. it's like a new love. the first thing you think of in the morning, and the last thing you think of at night. reading it is a thrill unlike any other. it's gripping. arresting. evokes an emotion every single time.
