I'm flying to South Africa tomorrow!

And oddly enough, I haven't finished my Zambian book, for the following reasons:

1) Bitterness is not actually a very good read.

2) Especially on a Kindle, methinks.

3) Even more so on a Kindle which officially belongs to my father anyway, and which my mother is occasionally using to read Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.



4) And here's the principal reason: my main priority of late has been finishing Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom, which I would imagine should be compulsory reading before any trip to South Africa.



Unfortunately, this is also not a very good read. I may say more eventually.
