I loved the book. Totally transformational and empowering.
I am considering to read it again. Is this crazy?
Has anyone read it more than once????

not oh yes you are crazy : ) : )
While I am still less than halfway through, I can understand the desire to read it again. Having marked passages, it is such a quotable, magnificent read. Velean
But I have waited 3 years to do so ..so it can be fresh again!
no i dont think its crazy to read it again! its so full with stories, i guess if one reads it once again its just fun again!i for myself gonna read it next time in dutch, thats a challenge too.
I read it twice. It's an amazing story. When the book first came out I told a friend about it. She read it, bought 5 copies and gave them to friends!
I wanted to buy the rights because I knew they would make a film from the book. Alas, I don't have that
sort of wealth, but if I did, I would invest in it in a flash. I just wish they would get on with it and do the film.
Depp will be perfect of the Gregory part.

I have just finished reading Shantaram and immediately turned to the first page to read again, I just didn't want it to end.
After 5 years since the first read, I was surprized how much I enjoyed the book again, but try listing to the Audiobook on IPod, a wonderful voice and a soothing story to listen to!
The audio version was great!
As an ardent Indophile, I have read this marvelous book three times and will probably read it on an annual basis. I can only hope that the movie is as thrilling as the book. A digression: Russell Crowe as Lin; Johnny Depp as Didier and Helen Bonham Carter as Karla.
This is my absolute favorite book of all time (and I am a voracious reader). I'm almost done reading it right now, for the third time. Each time I read it, I find something new that I missed before. New knowledge, a new wisdom, a beautiful new envisioned thought... I am so in love with this book, I know I will read it again and again. It touches me profoundly... not so much the action the book is famous for, but for the wisdom that comes from each action Linbaba was involved in. The man learned from his experiences, which is what most of us want as we live our lives... but he went further in that he shared his wisdoms with the world. I love him for that and am so eternally grateful. ~Mari
Interesting you should ask. I just finished the book in audio - and I bought a hard cover version to re-read and the soft cover to mark up and take notes.
All too often we hear of hugely popular books being instant classics. But, it's the books that stand the test of time which bear the proper standard of "classic". This novel will stand on shelves next to volumes such as "Gone with the Wind" or Dicken's "Tale of Two Cities", emotionally impacting tales such as "The Yearling", or picturesque epics such as Michner's "Hawaii" or "Tales of the South Pacific."Have I personally re-read it? Lost count. I use specific paragraphs to send to friends when the proper moment arises. It has been years since I discovered a book that had as many insights into humanity stored in one place. Perhaps as a bit of hyperbole, it's as if the lessons of the Bible were made modern.
Read it twice!!, I have read it three times and willread it again.

Finished it 1 week ago and started ahain on it today. Cannot stop being in this book!!! the second read is showing even more believe it or not
I'm on my fourth read. Actually I love the audio book and have downloaded it to my MP3 player. I am obsessed with this book.
Reading once, reading twice, reading a third, SOLD!
I have the audio book on my ipod. listened to it 3 times so far.
I'm 1/2 way thru my 4th reading... love it!
Read it once and listened to it on audiobook once, 2nd time on CD was even better, go for it!

I am. Definitely. It is a must. I am enjoying it more the second time around.
