Shantaram

"But everything has its cause and its meaning. Every life, every love, every action and feeling and thought has its reason and significance...and in the tiny precious wisdom that they give to us, even those dreaded and hated enemies, suffering and failure, have their reason and their right to be"

-Gregory David Roberts

Shantaram

  

I had been wanting to take a picture with Shantaram for so long. This is by far one of my favorite books, I read it a couple summers ago and it changed my life. If you are an avid reader and are looking for something that is truly inspiring I recommend this. It's a pretty big commitment (900+ pages), but every page is insightful and beautiful. It's about a convict in an Australian prison who escapes and goes to India and does amazing things. That's all I'll say because I don't want to give anything away, but do yourself a favor and read this piece of art.
