A friend was asking for book recommendations and a few people responded that Shantram was an amazing book. Anyone read it? Otherwise, sounds to come on good recommendations :)

Awesome Awesome AWESOME book!
A must read :)
I couldn't get into it. I tried twice but gave up.
I loved it. Definitely one of those books that stays with you IMO, and is great to read and reread.
Yeah, Johnny Depp purchased the movie rights or something! Few years ago now however, so I hope it is still going to go ahead!:
I read that they were waiting for the author to finish his current novel which was a sequel to Shantaram!?!
Yep, I read it for my Book Club. Had to speed read in three nights so suffice to say, I don't remember too much of the detail other than that it was brill.
I loved it too. Amazing story.
I loved Water for Elephants too (just don't watch the movie because its such a letdown). I love Geraldine Brooks - Year of Wonders and People of the Book. Both among the best books I've ever read
It's on my list and I've heard really good things about it so I can't wait to get started.
I loved water for elephants too.
What's this book about?
An Australian man who is a convicted bank robber. Escapes from prison and flees to India. The book is predominantly about his life in India. Its based on a true story
Yep, another one who enjoyed it :)
Ah yes I have this book. Bought it while we travelled in India. Boy it's written very well, India is exactly as its described! Think I have read it about 6 times. Is there really going to be a movie???
Amazing book, first chapter a bit slow but after that its a total page turner. Apparently he wrote it in prison twice from memory as the manuscript was taken from him the first couple of versions. I would reccomend for sure!
