Book of the moment!

I mad into me readin' I am! I normally fly through books, but I've been a bit slow of late. At the moment I'm reading The Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, I'm still only about a third into the book (it's REALLY big and it has very small writing!!). I think part of the reason it's taking me so long is that it's so beautifully written with these quotes that make you read over them a few times, think about them and fully digest them. I've ruined the book with 'dog-ears' and pen marks making sure I'll be able to find the quotes again!!

Here's one example of the innumerous words of wisdom for Mr. David Roberts:

"The truth is that there are no good men, or bad men. It is the deeds that have goodness or badness in them. There are good deeds, and bad deeds. Men are just men - it is what they do, or refuse to do, that links them to good and evil. The truth is that an instant of real love, in the heart of anyone - the noblest man alive or the most wicked - has the whole purpose and process and meaning of life within the lotus-folds of its passion"

H-Amazing!
