Interesting memoir of a Scot that walked across Afghanistan 3 months after the USA intervened with the Taliban.

Really gives you a good idea about how, and why real average rural Muslims preceive their world.

 

Walden by Hank Thoreau. It's taking me awhile. I'm a slow reader. On top of that, he keeps making all these classical lit and historical references that sidetrack me when I have to look them up. Very challenging, but educational and at times humorous.

 

Patriots by David Drake.

 

I'm on the last hundred pages of The World According to Garp, by John Irving.

I also started reading The City and the City by China Mieville.

 

I am working my way through my Pratchett collection.


Currently on the Fifth Elephant.

 

Great Book: Have you read Hotel New Hampshire?

 

cool

 

Yeah. I liked Hotel New Hampshire, but not as much as some of Irving's other stuff. And now having finished it, I liked Garp better than it.

 

Yes, I agree.

Have you read Cider House Rules?

 

A book called Affluenza.
It's all about duh murkin dream.
