Recent Reading

My most recent book was called, "Highlanders" by Yo'av Karny. I found the book to be the most in-depth of current issues surrounding many of the states within the Caucasus region. For now, this shall be the end of my studies of the Caucasus. My next journey takes me a little east to Uzbekistan in a book called, "Chasing the Sea." I will keep you up to date, but thus far it is quite interesting. The author, Tom Bissell, was a Peace Corps volunteer from the mid-90's and is roughly my age, so it is certainly an interesting perspective.

After this, I am going to read more about the Mongol invasion and how it impacted this region of the world.
