2.The Bookseller of KabulThe Bookseller of Kabul
from Virago Press Ltd
Price: $5.78

Customer Review:
The Bookseller of Kabul is perfect plane reading. It's relatively small and lightweight, with a story serious enough for determined reading but still plot-driven for easy pick-up. A European journalist lived with a middle-class Afghan bookseller for one year. His family is unusual. He has two wives,... more info

3.The Way of the WorldThe Way of the World
from Elan Press
Price: $13.68

Customer Review:
I envy him. I envy his travels and his writing. For me Bouvier writes the best travel novels. It s something different. He doesn't describe the country. he simply lives country's life. Stays somewhere in Anatolia for a month, then suddenly one day decides it is time. Time to go, time to travel.

Customer Review:
This was one of the first of intrepid reporter, Robert Kaplan's, many timely and insightful Atlantic Monthly articles turned into a book.

6.[no image]A SHORT WALK IN THE HINDU KUSH
from HARPERCOLLINS

Customer Review:
A thoroughly enjoyable book from a Brit who always had room for adventure. (Read "The Last Grain Race" for Newby's adventures as a teen sailing a traditional working sailing ship around the world.)
Most interesting to me was seeing how little has changed in the subsequent 50 years. Afghanistan... more info

from Picador
Price: $1.75

Customer Review:
From a first reading, this book can be described as an in-depth and focused analysis of today's Afghanistan:
its customs, mores, intertwining cultures and the pervading hopelessness and poverty that seems to suffuse and suffocate
the entire country. Ann Jones does a magnificent job in... more info

from The Lyons Press
Price: $2.86

Customer Review:
I read this book last summer and immediately afterwards read "Three Cups of Tea" from Greg Mortenson.

10.The Road to OxianaThe Road to Oxiana
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $9.40

Customer Review:
Byron had an hysterical knack for seeing right into the souls of the various persons he met on his journeys...it didn't matter who the person was or of what ethnic group or nationality - none were spared the naked opinions of Mr. Byron, and the result is perhaps one of the best books I have read in... more info
