Books I have read and highly recommend… UPDATED 6 August 2009

UPDATE:  6 August 2009:  I for the life of me could not remember the title to this book I read in the fall of 2006.  ”An Unexpected Light” by Jason Elliot.  The author is the traveler in this GREAT book about Afghanistan.  He travelled here twice once just after the Russian withdrawl and the subsequent fighting between the mujahid factions.  And again during the Taliban reign.  Well written and a little bit of current history thrown in.  I highly recommend it.  

How did I remember the title?  I was walking through one of the exchanges on the ISAF base at KAIA, or Kabul Airport and found the book.  As a matter of fact I will purchase that one and a few others I noticed while looking around.

This is my library and highly recommended for everyone on either side of the ideological aisle…
