Bitter Lemons of Cyprus, Lawrence Durrell

Four pages in and I was metaphored for life.

73. Cuba Diaries, Isadora Tattlin

The contrast of priviledged existance -- 8 servants -- and lack of basic necessities -- almost everything -- well told with exasperation and humour by "American housewife".

9. Travels with Lizbeth, Lars Eighner

Eighner spent three years "on the road and on the streets" with Lizbeth, his dog. A remarkable book and a love story for dog lovers.
