When I solicited some book recommendations back at the beginning of my trip, one book that had come highly recommended, but proved difficult to find was The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham. I finally acquired a copy upon returning to Istanbul and was glad to finally sit down and read it. I have to say that the book wasn't quite the 'quintessential travel book' that I was expecting, but certainly a very insightful and enjoyable read about a young man that embarks on a journey of 'loafing' and discovery lasting many years. Before reading it, I had a difficult time finding an adequate summary and am afraid I won't do any better here, but definitely recommend it. It looks like there is also a DVD.
