There are other books that may be better introductions to African politics, but that's a list for another time. Read those and 9/11's demystified.

Sort of has to do with the above, and much more. Still picking around in it, but it has some interesting bits. Whether it's consistent remains to be seen.

Did you finish??

I had to put both books aside -- something I don't much like doing since it's too easy to slide into this as a habit, but there are times more soothing reading is needed. Would "The Painted Veil" be considered a chick book, or am I being sexist here? It was a great book, very beautiful, and another title I'd recommend is "Ironweed" by William Kennedy.

Everest misadventure: Close to the edge
Some great titles there, too.

Official Poetry Thread
Also gorgeous


This was good, too and the hardcover's $5.99 new
LinkLink ...That said, I'll be taking a few notes & giving it to the library (running out of room on my bookshelves)


Also $5.99 *but it's a keeper*, and I think it would interest you more than most of the other titles mentioned. If you've access to Amazon's oreview feature, you'll see why. When I do this, I'll do a search for, say, London, read three pages, do another London search, read three more pages, and so on. Helps make better decisions.
