Reading List

I'm avoiding the full-on "back from travelling" entry. I'll tackle the travels soon; it was fun. Very fun. Instead, this is my list of books I read whilst abroad:

New Zealand:
jPod by Douglas Coupland

Australia:
Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes
1984 by George Orwell
Brother Nature by Robert Llewellyn

Indonesia:
The God Of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis and Larry Sloman

Thailand:
Century Rain by Alastair Reynolds
Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
The Stars' Tennis Balls by Stephen Fry
The Hippopotamus by Stephen Fry
Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens
Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Coupland

The best was Flowers For Algernon, followed by 1984. The worst, or at least the one I couldn't get to grips with, was The God Of Small Things.

The Game

I am playing a game in which I see how long it takes me to reacquire the stone I lost whilst travelling. Since my Thai lifestyle featured regular swimming, hiking and healthy food in sensible quantities, while my English lifestyle consists of crisps and sitting, I wager it won't take too long.
