/trv/fag here looking for some guidance.
I've been to India seven times and am looking to go back again in autumn. As I've had more free time than usual, I'm trying to do more reading than I normally would. I would, ideally, like to find some works about the places I'm going which are both informative and entertaining. Over the past few months I've read "Shantaram" and "City of Djinns." I bought "The Lowland" by Jhumpa Lahiri and "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga.
Each book I've listed is about India and I'd like to find a few more - whether they're fiction or non-fiction doesn't matter.
I'm also going to Ecuador in May, Mexico in June, Tanzania in July, and probably Egypt and Ethiopia afterward as well. Any recommendations pertaining to East Africa or Latin America would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Read the sticky and the wiki and whatnot.
For Latin America I recommend you the author Eduardo Galeano.

You might do well to read up on some basic Hinduism since it's such a big part of the culture. The Gita is fairly easy and applicable to most lives regardless if you believe in it.
