You and I have read many of the same books. You can see some of my recommendations here.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would be able to think of all the places that I have traveled. It's a fun idea, though.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel so bad about not reading much in Africa... :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive list.

What a fun idea - although my memory is so bad that I couldn't make a list like that off the top of my head. But I enjoyed reading your list.
ReplyDeleteYou and I have similar taste it appears - great books!
ReplyDeleteI ran out of time to do this one, but I think I'll do it later for my own benefit. I like your list!
