In the 1970s, the ultimate trip for any backpacker was the storied “Hippie Trail” from Istanbul to Kathmandu. A 23-year old Rick Steves made the trek, and like a travel writer in training, he documented everything along the way: jumping off a moving train, making friends in Tehran, getting lost in Lahore, getting high for the first time in Herat, battling leeches in Pokhara, and much more. The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world.

A racist ignoramus
Revisado: 02-27-25
What stood out in the few chapters I could go through was his inordinate unpreparedness to travel to foreign countries and the racist ignorance flowing in his veins… I cannot believe that he has not flinched in sharing his thoughts in today’s day and age.

The Big Four: Framed in the doorway of Hercule Poirot’s bedroom stands an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man stares for a moment, then he sways and falls. Who is he? And what is the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper? Cards on the Table: Mr. Shaitana is famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he is a man of whom everybody is a little afraid. So when he boasts to Hercule Poirot that he considers murder an art form, the detective has some reservations about accepting a party invitation.

Incredible plots
Revisado: 12-01-24
Loved everything. All along tried to imagine who Agatha Christie was - such “modern” sensibilities, more than a 100 years ago… Just makes one feel humble about how we think of the past.

Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish.

Many themes and yet, more than the sum of its parts
Revisado: 08-25-22
A really lovely book that intwines a compelling story, history, and ecology but is so much more than the sum of these parts. A deeply personal tale that is subtle and compassionate.

When Hisham Matar was a 19-year-old university student in England, his father was kidnapped. One of the Qaddafi regime's most prominent opponents in exile, he was held in a secret prison in Libya. Hisham would never see him again. But he never gave up hope that his father might still be alive. "Hope," as he writes, "is cunning and persistent." Twenty-two years later, after the fall of Qaddafi, the prison cells were empty, and there was no sign of Jaballa Matar. Hisham returned with his mother and wife to the homeland he never thought he'd go back to again.

A jewel
Revisado: 03-01-21
A book that cannot be described but has to be experienced, that it is narrated by the author himself makes it even more poignant - a true tale of unspoken grief which also reads like poetry. Of course it informs us about the geopolitics in the world of dictators and their powerful western sponsors, but that’s a side note.

Agatha Christie as Cassandra
Revisado: 08-05-20
Agatha Christie in 1951, wrote a story about how at the height of Cold War, there was a desire on the part of the US and USSR to iron out their differences and co-exist. This was a threat to an underground movement which did not want this, and instead wanted to dominate with their ideology. The plot feels like it was set today with many different factions still plotting away and peace still being elusive. Christie is also ahead of her times in casting an ordinary English young woman, a typist who cannot spell properly but is very courageous and whip smart, as her heroine who helps uncover this dangerous network! Thoroughly enjoyable while being thought provoking!
