Sovietistan: Travels in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan | Erika Fatland

pick

I thoroughly enjoyed this travelogue describing a Norwegian journalist‘s travels through #Turkmenistan, #Kazakhstan, #Tajikistan, #Kyrgyzstan, and #Uzbekistan. She describes some of the travel itself, basic history, political aspects, culture, and personal stories of people she met.

julieclair I know absolutely nothing about any of these countries. Added to my stack! (edited) 5mo

Daisey @julieclair This book has been on my TBR since I saw it posted for #ReadingAsia2021 for the same reason, but I just fairly recently found the audio and finally got to it. Definitely a worthwhile read! 5mo

BarbaraBB This was so good indeed! 5mo

jlhammar Definitely want to get to this someday as I thought Fatland's The Border was fantastic! 5mo

Daisey @BarbaraBB @jlhammar I‘ll definitely need to add her other books to my someday list. 5mo

BarbaraBB I did too. Unfortunately that day hasn‘t come yet for me 😊 but I still want to read her! 5mo

I listened to the section of this book about Kazakhstan and part of the Tajikistan section this weekend on my walks and continue to find it incredibly interesting. Additionally, I needed an excuse to share this fun up close photo of Luthien enjoying her walk.

This book has been on my TBR since I first saw it reviewed here and in my Audible library for a bit. I finally started listening on a beautiful fall walk with Luthien today and enjoyed the first section on Turkmenistan.

It was really interesting read about part of the world no one is really talking about. I've made some notes and I'm keen to learn more.

It was a tight race between January‘s winner, Where I Was From, and February‘s The White Mosque. Much like a real game, if I were choosing in a different day, the outcome might be different, but today I‘m feeling the love for the Asian Mennonites‘ saga.

It's 7° F here, which is cold for Georgia. I'm baking cookies this morning to take to my friend's dinner Party, then will snuggle in this evening for some reading.
