Shadow of the Silk Road by Colin Thubron
This is the first book I've read by Thurbon. I love his intellectual, distinctly British tone.
Country of My Skull by Antjie Krog
It's gotten a lot more depressing, but it's the kind of depressing that's necessary. Krog is a journalist and a poet, which I think explains the unusual style. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's effective.
Portrait of a Lady by Henry James (on CD)
I'm So Mad at Isabel right now. So mad. And annoyed with James; I just don't buy that she'd reject an awesome guy and then accept a horrid one. Hmph.
The Arabian Nights, trans. by Husain Haddawy and The Arabian Nights:a Companion by Robert Irwin
I've stalled on reading the Companion, since it's now full of literary criticism (not my favourite topic), but I'm still enjoying The Nights! I've only got 150 pages left.
Children of the Night ed. by Gloria Naylor
I lost this one for awhile! But I've found it, so I should get back into the stories soon. :)

In Loving Memory
