Snowfed Waters
I loved the atmospheric writing and the characters. It’s really evocative and completely sensuous - love the smells of the woodsmoke and the cumin in the first chapter. And it is brilliant how the author describes Sonia's appearance through Rekraj's eyes. Gives us a picture of her that shows what he values as well as what she looks like. A very economical and subtle solution to the problem of description, shown, not told.

How to Shit Around the World
Das Buch ist sehr gut geschrieben. Es wird erklärt welche Erkrankungen es gibt und wie man sich schützt.
Ausserdem sind tolle Tips dabei, was man lieber nicht essen sollte und welche Lebensmittel safe sind.
Teils sehr unterhaltsam.

50 Camels and She's Yours
What a wonderful selection of travel writing - the 5 authors each bring a different style and unique view on the world. Hivernel's "Why Mauritania?" transported me and made me look at my own world with different eyes. Immerse yourself in some armchair travels and there are even two reflections on the difficulty of coming home.
