Book Traveler

I can't afford to travel across the world and no one has built a machine to travel back in time yet. And so I read. I especially like books that tell of different cultures and times.

My aunt and I were just talking about our favorites (she likes the same types of books) and these are a few that we agreed are amazing reads:

Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi

A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad

The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story by Diane Ackerman

I think I'm going to hide from the chilly weather in a coffee shop and re-read a couple of these soon.
