Another blog that was lost, but now is found. I kind of was going through a time-warp/black hole in the blog world for the past few months- hence, no blogs...
Interesting books I have read or am in the process of reading (I have a small obsession with Soviet/post-Soviet and Slavic culture):
The Tiger by John Vaillant
Excellent book that was recommended to me by my dad. It is a true story about a tiger hunt, but it also gives great descriptions of what post-Soviet life is like in the far, far East of Russia. The geography of this region was also amazing to read about.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Very interesting look into Slavic/Russian culture during this time period. I must say though, half-way through, I became a little bored with the story line. I have to pick it up again soon and finish it.
Winter Road by Andy Frecka
This American guy wrote down his adventures of living/volunteering in Russia. He works for YWAM. Such a good writer and such interesting stories. Definitely recommend it. This guy also has a blog: Eye on Moscow. If you're interested in reading/learning about Slavic culture, check it out! Even if you just want something interesting to read while you are waiting in line at the post office: do it.
