Reading Around Europe
This post is WAY more important than packs, budget or accommodation.
After much research, I have worked out my reading list for my trip. The criteria?
All books must be:
Entertaining; Available on Kindle; and (this is the most important) Based in the regions we are visiting.
So here's the list:
Safe as Houses by Sophie van der VlugtThe Fault in our Stars by John GreenThe Diary of a Young Girl by Anne FrankThe Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux - I meant to download The Hunchback of Notre Dame but what the heyA Year in Provence by Peter Mayle Neverwhere by Neil GaimanThe Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan DoyleA Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare ( and maybe his sonnets)Christopher Hitchens and His Critics by Simon Cottee, Thomas Cushman and Christopher HitchensThe Book of Liverpool by assorted writersEnder's Shadow by Orson Scott Card
A very diverse list! Should keep me going for a while, provided I have access to the kindle (and it's not appropriated by some other member of my family).
I created the list using these websites:
Books Set In.... - a list of books set in a variety of countries, with a search function and links to amazon
Goodreads - particularly a great group, called Around the World in 80 Days
and - general knowledge.
Let's see how I go!
