Is anyone reading this via Kindle? I think this is one of the few books I really need to get hard copy. I want to underline, dog ear, etc., and that's just not the same with my beloved Kindle!

[Nicholas]

Not me Laura. I have the paperback. I'm only about 80 pgs. in at this point. But I'll be moving much faster with an open schedule next couple of weeks...

Just got my "real" copy in the mail. Gearing up to dive in from the start again!!

I've got the hard copy. I like the story but find myself getting lost in the language. It's a slower read for me than normal.

Agreed Karen. The language is like an old English text, which I was lucky enough to read too much of in college, but even with that I'm slower than normal.

Ok...back on track here. The beginning is great. Levitation, tiger taming, guru exploration, traveling, love, god, rebellion against parents...it's really a great start to what is setting up to be a great memoir.

The language feels old. The incessant citations in the copy that I'm reading make me feel as if I should be more studied.

I frequently felt like a westerner getting a glimpse on a different perspective.

All of this I'm grateful for as I move into the next chapters of the book...

I have a strong feeling that Mukundu will be a lifelong friend...
