Yeah, me too! Yesterday when I arrived in Maputo I realized that I had left my book (King Leopold’s Ghost) in Boane, a 1.5 hour bus ride away. Fear not, just buy another one. Maputan sidewalks offer a literary selection that rivals Moe’s (on telegraph in Berkeley, CA) at a fraction of the cost. I’m not kidding. Upon my realization that I was bookless and was planning on reading for two hours I just started browsing the sidewalks. I settled on The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, a book that I’ve been meaning to read. Other options included a book of New Yorker short stories and some crazy African Adventure novel about the fictitious Prester John. Now I have to decide if I should continue reading Kavalier and Clay or King Leopold’s Ghost. Suggestions?
BOOKS!
