I started Shantarum today, it's a fictional novel that seems to take place mostly in Bombay. The story is told from first person, and so far it's pretty engaging with fairly good prose but excellent dialogue. The main character is intriguing, I'll quote him to give you an idea, "In my case, it's a story, and a crowded one. I was a revolutionary who lost his ideals in heroin, a philosopher who lost his integrity in crime, and a poet who lost is soul in a maximum-security prison". I wasn't sure what to expect when starting, but not only is the protagonist interesting but his supporting cast is far from the deflated caricatures populating other books I won't name. The seedy slums, exotic hotels, and restaurants, combined with the drug-dealers, pimps and mercenaries brings Black Lagoon strongly to mind. The feel is similar, and I suspect some of the same themes are going to be dealt with.

iunno how off topic or anything is, but me and my friends always fight with my school about religion, in thwe handbook, it says not to wear any clothes or jewerly promoting any religion, now, our school lets us rent bibles from our library, AND, you can always have a shirt promoting christianity or a cross necklace, but the second my friend has a pentagram necklace, he is put into our BIP (behavior intervention prgram, more know as in school suspension), i know christianity is one of the most accepted religions, even though christians nowadays are idiots, lol, but.... should it be taken further? like, i'm not religious, i'm Agnostic, but i think that if they allow one religion to be promoted, they should let the, all...? that would happen to be one of my LT's, lol
