Our favourite trip books... excluding trashy reads!
- The Sorrow of War, Bao Ninh - a war novel by a Vietnamese veteren, I can't imagine a better book if you're interested in the subject.
- First They Killed My Father, Loung Ung - we didn't dig Cambodia, but we dug this book
- The God of small things, Arundhati Roy - just preparing for Kerala
- A Passage to India, EM Forster - a really good classic, in fact better than expected.
- Collected Short Stories, Somerset Maugham - thanks to Pin for dishing this out before we left, it's good stuff
- The Quiet American, Graham Greene - if you go to Vietnam you must read this
- A Fine Balance, Rohinton Mistry - tales of caste and life in India, not light stuff
- Wolf Solent, John Cowper Powys - never heard of it, but it turned out to be 600 pages of west country myth making. Not one for Mrs B.
- A Dragon Apparent, Norman Lewis - travels through IndoChine in the dying days of the French administration. Not a quick read easy read.
- Scoop, Evelyn Waugh - tip top fleet street knocking - still relevant
- Breakfast at Tiffany's, Truman Capote - read on Ripple, it's speedy and not for super rats..
- The Ebony Tower, John Fowles - short stories, Somerset pips him, but he's still good
- Silas Marner, George Eliot - a classic sneaks in, victorian challenges and suitable wholesome
we'll try not to be too dull - get updates...
How did it all begin?
Edward asked Erica to marry him and she said yes. His second question was 'shall we go travelling?' and she gave the same answer, just quicker. Without realising it they'd decided and all they had to agree was when and where...... e2btravel has some answers
