The Alchemist

I had a read of "The Alchemist" (by Paola Choelo) recently. Well worth a read - About a guy on a journey - I'll say no more :-)

The Quiet American

My brother gave me a copy of "The Quiet American" to read when I was going away. I read it over the two days on the slow boat. Really good book. Based in Vietnam during the 1950's, the book gives you a great feel for SE Asia back then. Well worth reading this short (spy?) thiller.
