Three Good Reads for Autumn

Lost on Planet China: The Strange and True Story of One Man’s Attempt to Understand the World’s Most Mystifying Nation or How He Became Comfortable Eating Live Squid, by J. Maarten Troost

Hilarious account of Troost’s adventures in China!!

 

 

 

 

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, by John Le Carré

In the bleak days of the Cold War, espionage veteran George Smiley is forced from semi-retirement to uncover a Soviet agent within MI6′s echelons. I would advise reading the novel before seeing the new film adaptation starring Gary Oldman and Colin Firth. A great spy thriller!

 

 

 

The Chamber, by John Grisham

Twenty-six-year-old Adam Hall stands on the brink of a brilliant legal career. Now he is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case. His grandfather Sam Cayhall, a former Klansman, has been convicted of murder and sentenced to death by gas chamber 20 years after his bombing of a Jewish lawyer’s office. Cayhall’s sentence has so far been held up by legal maneuvering, but with all his appeals exhausted, he has weeks to live. Although it was written more than 15 years ago, the topic is unfortunately still very relevant…

A magical 60 second flight over Earth

The flight to the sunrise begins over the Pacific Ocean and zooms at an altitude of about 220 miles (350 kilometers) past Vancouver Island and Victoria, the Pacific Northwest and the American Southwest, Texas and Mexico, Central and South America. The highlights to watch for include constellations of city lights, lightning flashes in the clouds, the stars whirling in the night sky above, the faint brown-yellow atmospheric airglow that rims the eastern horizon, and the glorious dawn at the end.
