Speaking of reading.
 I read some advice for married couples.  The advice was to keep a marriage together;
" Threesomes Make Marriage Very Interesting. "

There is also a follow up book to pappillon called Banco, it is also a very good read. The book takes off where pappillon finished, about how life continued on the run!

Both excellent books

   " ...how life continued on the run! "

I seem to remember that Banco was mostly about life after   being on the run.

Starting a new life, empty handed,  in various South American countries.

An interesting story, anyway.

( The city of Caracas, and the rest of of the country, did not have any extradition treaty with France, me thinks.)

Yeah, I enjoyed Banco as well. I had to read it after I finished Papillion.

If you escape from a prison there would not be a life after being on the run You would be an escapee regardless of where you live, so would always be on the run.
You could live a life after being on the run but that would only be in your mind, as in the eyes of the law you are an escaped convict. Mamma mia!

Where can I find this book?

 Is there a chapter on how one goes about buying 50 % of a ladyboy bar?

I need some advice because

"Visitors are more likely to encounter petty crime, usually limited to pickpocketing and confidence tricks, ...

An old friend wants to sell me half of club 911, located on soi 9/1-1. It sounds like a once in a lifetime sort of deal.

"Loitering with Intent: The Child" by Peter O'Toole. Pretty witty, quirky stuff. It's the first of two, the second being "Loitering with Intent: The Apprentice."

If you like biographies (or autobiographies in the case) as I do, you won't be disappointed.

It's a non fiction account of an Aussie chick who goes to Africa and works with the wild life. An interesting read.
