I was excited to come across this book, plus there was a sequel on the shelf written something like 30 years later, but... The sex. I couldn't handle all the writing about prostitution and fellow travellers talking about their sexual adventures in these countries. I'm sad that I wasted 4 days of reading time before realising it was just going to get worse.

I‘ve really enjoyed listening to Ollivier‘s books about his walk along the Silk Road over the summer. It‘s a unique look at some of the areas we‘ve been reading about in our challenges over the last few years, and I‘m sad I don‘t have more to read.

After his wife died Bernard Oliver set out to walk the Silk Road. This trip sounded STRESSFUL. I‘ll definitely read the rest since this book only covered his time in #Turkey. #FoodAndLit

Catsandbooks Wow! 🇹🇷 3mo

Purpleness Argh, I just realised I tagged the wrong book. I almost never have two books on the go at once, and I must gave just automatically searched up the one I had been reading most recently. 4mo

Texreader This looks interesting but very long. Would you recommend it? 4mo
Purpleness @Texreader Depends on what your tolerance for long detailed history is. I am enjoying it, but it there are lots of really detailed descriptions of diplomatic exchanges and battles, and it could have used a better editor in some parts. What I do like about it is that by talking about a whole period in detail like this, it can show the evolution of the situation in each of the main countries involved. 4mo
