I think my first book will be from Italy and it's called Silk.

Mine will either be 1Q84 for Japan or Agaat for South Africa. I'm having trouble deciding and I have a library copy of Count of Monte Cristo staring at me. I could read that for France, but I had something else in mind. :S

So now I have to choose another book read along with Agaat. My first choice Half Blood Blues is lost in the mail somewhere between here and the UK.

I ended up choosing Thursday Night Widows. However, I am happy to say my book arrived yesterday. Yay!!

*gloats because of the copy of Half Blood Blues on her shelf*

But truthfully I got distracted from Zhivago by Tuchman's The Guns of August which is.. Something else entirely.

Looks like I'm starting in Pakistan with 'Three Cups of Tea' by Greg Mortenson and David Relin. Not sure about the tea drinking, but am looking forward to 'seeing' some of Pakistan.
