About meI'm a writer based in Austin. I like to read travel, history, memoirs, biographies.
About my libraryThe crates collecting dust in the barn of my parents' farm are full of moldering copies of the usual college and high school assigned classics. In addition, there are lots of travel essays by Paul Theroux and Bruce Chatwin, big fat Russian novels, and a few paperbacks that I stole from the London bookstore where I used to work.

I checked out your book too- looks interesting and goes right where I want to go in reading. I might look into it.
You might find Kapuscinski interesting- a Polish journalist and a very good writer, and especially his book on the Soviet Union, Imperium .

Your tone seems to be different from the spammers and your book looks interesting. I've read a few books of the 'peace corps' type and a few themed in and around the Middle East, but I haven't seen a book where these 2 areas intersect, such as in your book.
Good luck to you.
