Just finished The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, i think everyone should read it at least once in their lifetime. It's such a wonderfully explained and saddening book. I really enjoyed it.
I'm now reading West of Kabul, East of New York by Tamim Ansary

West of Kabul, East of New York was really nice. Sometimes i think i should have been Afghanistani, other times i'm thankful i'm not.
