Book Recommendations

Books Read While Traveling Around Europe:

• Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi (started and finished this book during my trip to Istanbul ... it is, by far, one of my all-time favorite books ... a must read!)
• Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (how did I not read this in high school? Another favorite!)
  
• Eat. Pray. Love. by Elizabeth Gilbert
  
• The Shack by William P. Young
• Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
  
• A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
• Penal Colony by Franz Kafka
• Boy in the Stripped Pajamas by John Boyne
  
• Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton (again, another favorite ... classic American literature)
  
• Pillars of Hercules by Paul Theroux (this incited my interest in traveling to Turkey)
  
• A Year in the Life by Frances Mayes (my favorite travel author)
  
• The Soloist by Steve Lopez (because Strauss and Beethoven are fabulous)
  
• El laberinto de soledad by Octavio Paz
• Harvest of Empire: History of Latinos in America by Juan Gonzalez
  
• Men that God Made Mad by Derek Lundy (great historical insight into Northern Ireland)
