Lands of Lost Borders: Out of Bounds on the Silk Road by Kate Harris

This is one of those travelogues that was definitely more pleasant to read about than it would've been to do.  Despite the fact that the author both amazing and someone I would have nothing in common with, I devoured the first half of the book - definitely when she was in school.  The travelogue was super interesting, and as someone who studied abroad several times, I could definitely relate to her being just over being there.  (And I wasn't camping or biking!)  I did learn a few things - I had no idea Georgia used a different alphabet than Cyrillic or Latin.   And of course the changes in Tibet were kind of heartbreaking. 

I was impressed with the moxie she had in getting this funded.  And good for her, but I just cannot relate to wanting to do anything like it.
