A Few Little Books Online ShoppingEverything You Always Wanted To Read

Book recommendations?

I’m interested in books in the travel/ culture/ autobiography area, focusing on cultural differences and living in certain cultures, especially oriental or african ones.
I’ve read “Memoirs of a Geisha”, “Not without my Daughter” by Betty Mahmoody, “Burned Alive” by Suad and “The White Masai” by Corinne Hofmann and I’m currently looking for similar books.
Any ideas?
Chuck Norris – then i’d better start reading asap LMAO

The Long Way Round – travel book by Ewen McGregor
Wild Swans by Jung Chan
The Bone People by Keri Hulme
Whale Rider (can’t remember author – read the book or see the film)

They may not be your kind of books but they’re interesting ones.

Terry Pratchett should be read just for fun as his books are laugh out loud – good for you when you need a lift.
