As this is one of my favourite movies, I wanted to read the original and it is quite good.The only problem being ,I kept seeing scenes from the film in my head as I was reading and kept hearing the famous zither soundtrack as well.Definitely worth reading for any who enjoy mysteries and for those who have read it, watch the movie. You will not be disappointed. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78333813 The Post-American World (Hardcover) by Fareed Zakaria

by Karen Armstrong

Another in the long line of really good religious biographies from this ex-nun.The book takes you from the moment Gotama leaves his wife and family to explore the self and along the way becomes Buddha.Interesting look at India in during Buddha's time.Recommend to anyone who wants to know a little more about the religion and a lot more about the man. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59259540 to: Buddha (Paperback) by Karen Armstrong
