I AM: Shantaram - the reason why I am not god

I chose to spend my holidays away from the thoughts which are obvious to set in when there is nothing to think about or worry about. I got this book Shantaram, written by Gregory David Roberts. I started with the most challenging and unsure journey spanning 936 pages. I was not sure because, I have never really completed many books except a few. I found it challenging because I was desperate to complete this book.

I will not give the outline of the story here. I have attached five videos by the author himself. It's from him, which is worth for a plot outline.

When I started with the book, I thought, the last full-stop on page numbered 936, would be an achievement. But After completing the book; spending effectively around 93 hours spanning through roughly 15 days, I believe, there is no bigger achievement than the respect one develops for oneself. Thats what the book teaches you.

Though I got the book from the library, I persuaded the librarian to sell the book to me. Because, this is the only book which had brought out the emotions, which I had thought, I had lost for ever. I literally made the expressions on my face according to the descriptions and would run for the mirror to check out how it looked like.
I have the pics of the book which gave this experience. I could have got better pics of the book cover from the internet, but it's the result of the childishness born form the book that had made me display the same book which I used.

The movie version of Shantaram is in the making. I don't want to watch it, how ever good it may be. I don't want to loose the identity of the faces from the book which I had developed and started to love. I don't want to hear the voices which would be very different from the voices, the book gave for those characters. I don't want to loose the Shantaram I love.

These are the videos from an interview by Roberts. You shouldn't miss the last video, where he humbles everybody with his humbleness.
