After reading Shantaram (recommendation from here), does any have any recommendations on something similar to read next? Also just finished Papillon, while brilliant I didn't enjoy it as much as Shantaram.
I've seen that GDR now has a second book out, seems to get some poor reviews though.
What do you mean by similar? Shantaram covers a lot of things. I guess the main theme is a stranger in a strange land who happens into a pretty exciting way of life?
I'd recommend Life of Pi. Not sure if it's what you're looking for. But it uses India as a backdrop to flesh out the character, and is about a person having an adventure.
I suppose some sort of travel / foreign land adventure story. Something based on fact or actual fact but reads more like fiction. Possibly a book with some crime / on the run element.
Something to fill the gap after such a great read.
How about the original travel adventure book?
Mr Nice - Howard Marks bio is a good read
Try 'These are the days that must happen to you' by Dan Walsh, the motorbike journalist. It's the exact opposite of Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman ...
I've already read Mr Nice, but I agree its a great read!
'These are the days that must happen to you' - I think I'll purchase that, cheers!
