Competitive Reading
OK, so I’m not really into competitive reading, and I don’t usually write real book reviews, but The Armchair Traveler Reading Challenge posted on A Life in Books had too dear a theme for me to pass up.
Get this, it’s all about travelling to distant places by way of books. Can you believe it? What have we been doing here for the past 10 months, anyway? In the rules, we have to go to real places, so I’m glad my tour of Middle Earth is over (see archives from back in March).
Anyway, here are the places I plan to go over the next few months, so expect the occasional “review.”
1) India via The Hindi Bindi Club
2) Prague via The Witch of Prague
3) Kabul via The Kite Runner
4) Argentina via Imagining Argentina
5) Backwoods Georgia via Deliverance
6) Africa via To Asmara: A Novel of Africa
