You're setting yourself up for a fall with this, Silver. Betcha anything you'll be inundated with P.M's from the many Hunter S Thompson wannabees perusing this site. Reading about America's mercenary armies in the middle-east at the mo....privately owned junket funded by the Yankee taxpayer.......yeehaw muddafuckas. Blackwater........

Nope. They are the same tower. You just have to approach them differently. Rapunzel tower is approached from the west. While CuCulains is approached from the East

"Shantaram is a 2003 novel by Gregory David Roberts, in which a convicted Australian bank robber and heroin addict who escaped from Pentridge Prison flees to India.
The novel is commended by many for its vivid portrayal of tumultuous life in Bombay."

A great book, very hard to put it down.
I brought it with me to India (mistake).large tome.
Even the Porters declined to carry my cases.
Next time I'll bring a Kindle.
The history of Colonial India is covered beautifully by Amitav Ghosh in the Ibis trilogy.
While the famine was going on in Ireland, the British were bombarding the Chinese mainland to control the sale of Opium/ Heroin INTO China.
After a ceasefire the Chinese ceded control of Red Incense Burner Hill- now called Hong Kong!

Thanks Tim.
I might give it a try.
My Wife has thousands of books on her Kindle.
And there's something to the tactile nature of a book.
What are your book suggestions about?

Nothing beats turning the pages of a real book

Audible is like an audio version of Kindle, the books are narrated well and it's good for killing time whilst driving or just chilling out at home.
Principles was written by Ray Dalio, one of the most successful hedge fund managers in the world, he's a self-made man coming from a normal background and the book is about the Principles he uses to succeed in business, social relationships and marriage and life in general.
The Richest man in Babylon is essential reading/listening for insights into money management how to build wealth.
No more Mr nice guy is about how from the baby boomer generation on men have been overly influenced by females in part due to fathers not being around because of war, work or addictions such as alcohol, and the women being the head of the households, teachers in schools and romantically being put on a pedestal has lead to men becoming very soft and tend to go against their nature suppressing their true feelings so as to please women and others in all manner of relationships right across society. Well worth a read or listen for all men.

I've probably over a thousand bukes for kindle, SB. Drop in with your Kindle sometime if you're passing. I've kinda gone off the kindle myself, find real paper easier on the deteriorating eyes for whatever reason.

Cheers Dude.
Mrs Bullet has the kindle with some special screen, not bad on the eyes.
I like the paper back for reading before sleep, no blue screen syndrome.

If you've ever watched Wallander or are even a fan of Scan-lit, Mankell writes a great detective novel.

We're going to have to take out a Nesbo against you for these anti-social activities, Silver.

I love those Scandinavian thrillers on the telly.....even with subtitles,some of them are dark...love that me!!

Nothing better than a Scanda thriller and a few Lagercranz.

Never read that one. Actually finishing Price's book on Blackwater and moving swiftly on to Bolivia's corrupt jail system...the book's name escapes me now as I'm not at home. Some poor foot-soldier having to bribe his way to get food and showers etc...

Lol.
I have all the Jo Nesbo books too.
The Scans write great crime thrillers, odd for a bunch of nations with relatively low crime rates.
Another hilarious cracker is this:
