Herodotus wrote extensively on the Scythians, their customs, and Persia's punitive expedition into their land. He was probably informed by Greeks living around the Black Sea, and it is colourful stuff.

Sounds interesting, thanks.

the "Nomadology" section from A Thousand Plateaus by Deleuze & Guattari is what you're looking for

I'm only about half way through it, but My Journey to Lhasa by David-Néel gives really great insight into native life in Tibet in the 1920s

Tolstoy's short story "How Much Land Does a Man Need?"

Solzhenitsyn - Cancer Ward

The Barbarian Empires of the Steppe is a fantastic teaching company course that is easily available to pirate and has a great bibliography

secret history of the mongols

Chekov has a short story called The Steppe but it's more about farmers than horse archers.

You don't need to read anything about it to learn about them.

It can be summed up in one sentence. They were assholes.

I just want to read fun books about adventures out on the vast steppe land.

Like Michel Strogoff.
