JOURNALS, MEMOIRS, THEN WHAT?

Posted on June 27, 2008 by colleen

Journals or memoirs (a kind of rolling journal?) are my current favorite form of reading. For instance, I loved learning about the Middle East from William Dalrymple’s From the Holy Mountain, Rory Stewart’s The Places In Between, or Carl Raswan’s … Continue reading →
