Just got Lonely Planet Peru and Under the Tourist Sun in the mail. KPBS had an interview with the authors of Under the Tourist Sun a while back and the book sounded quite interesting. I can’t wait to dig into both of them.

My current book is Quicksilver. I am around 3/4 of the way through (900 pages) and still enjoy it. It is not for everyone though. The book is obsessively detailed and you would have to be interested in the time period (1650-1700, USA & Europe).
