Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil
Deborah Rodriguez, Kristin Ohlson
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007
Excellent!
I highly recommend this book. Some may say that Rodrigues gave herself too much credit for what others have done. But I have to admit, that I for one would never go to Kabul. So regardless of how much she did, or did not achieve, she was there, and we weren't. To be a ...

Into the Wild
Jon Krakauer
Anchor, 2007
I finished Wild quickly.
and for me - Jon Krakauer's writing is the kind of stuff that makes for late nights and tired workdays. I can't pay him a higher compliment. This one was a bit different than his other efforts in that Krakuer plays more the role of detective/sociologist rather than an ...
