Favorite book.
Obviously, it's the Bible. I love how I can read a verse over and over and over (some for my whole life) and they take on a whole new meaning.
But, my favorite book is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. I rarely read books more than once (except the Bible, which I read daily). There are SO many books to devour, that why would I waste my time re-reading? BUT this book. I read it for book club, back in Montana, circa 2011. It was unlike anything I've ever read. The descriptions of the smells hit my nose! I knew Travis would love it. So I listened to it on audio-book. He did - said it was awesome. It has everything you want: mystery, travel, romance, drama, action, moral dilemmas, humor, tragedy, and everything in between.
Imagine my joy when he wrote a sequel, The Mountain Shadow, in 2015. I waited YEARS for it to be on audio so Travis and I could read it together. I even wrote to him (or his people, I guess, since they are the ones that wrote back) and requested it.
I saw the Apple TV+ Series. Brought the story to life even more! It was a great show and I wished it would never end.
