LOVE YOUR SARCASM. LOL. NO REALLY I AM LAUGHING OUT LOUD. 
          
          I can't believe you read SHANTARAM!!!!
          
          Not that you care or should care. But I wrote my first novel because of Shantaram. I spent 7 years in Congo Africa and survived to tell the story about it. While I was there someone went to South Africa and bought Shantaram and brought it back to French Congo for me to read something in English. God bless them. And when I read that book I decided that I wanted to write about my experience in Congo. It's a great novel! No not mine Shantaram.  Well mine is good too.
          
          I wrote my Congo book in two and a half weeks. 340,000 words. It POURED out of me......more like sprayed out of me like a suppressor. 
          
          The difference between his and mine is every single thing REALLY happened to me (arrested, poisoned, robbed) but he says his is fiction. But he certainly inspired me to write.
          
          Now I have written 18 novels.
          
          LOVE your writing style. Thx for sharing it with us.
