Brazil: A Biography (Audible). Just finished listening to this 28 hour history of the country. I can't imagine living or working in Brazil and not having read this comprehensive history that dates back to Brazil's "discovery" in the 1500s. I plan to read the book itself over the next few months and take copious notes!
The Collector of Leftover Souls: Field Notes on Brazil's Everyday Insurrections. This book is a collection of essaysFinished. essential reading for any burgeoning Brasilophile.
Why I am Still Surprised by the Power of the Spirit: Discovering How God Speaks and Heals Today. Great read--my full review is here.
Beartown. Recommended to me as "Friday Night Lights" except with hockey. That's a pretty fair description for this fast-paced read. Set in the backwoods of a dying hockey town in Sweden--it's got sports, betrayal, and possibly murder--sports noir at its finest. And it's a trilogy!
Tribe of Mentors. Currently reading. My full review will be here.
The Italians. Was reading but misplaced the book. If I find it I will finish it.
