I've been enjoying the chance to catch up on reading I've been meaning to do for a while. I'm currently reading: 'The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity' by Tariq Ali
I wanted to solicit any book recommendations that anyone might have. I'm interested primarily in books that may be relevant to travel or areas I will be going, or nice easy reading enjoyment books...

You should read NIGHT by Elie Wiesel... I'm in the midle of reading it and I hate to put it down... hope your travels are going well... and I guess you'll have to do this again once I move over there;)
I highly recommend Take Me With You by Brad Newsham. It's a travel journal of a San Francisco cabbie's travels around the world to find someone to bring back for a vacation to the U.S.
Hey Seth -
How 'bout reading the razor's edge? That is one of the best travel books ever. Also - why not take the plunge and read some Tolstoy. The juxtaposition of a beautiful beach and descriptions of Anna K's awful life is a rather interesting experience. I did that in Australis.
Also HELLO AARON LONGWELL....how are you - where are the pics of the kid? Jeremiah sent me some of them.
I am reading summer crap right now - I just finished a whole year of Ecology for a New Millenium and am consequently terrible depressed. I need literary eye candy to recover.
Hope your travels continue to be interesting.
ciao
Ruth (I forgot my frickin' password)
