Day 4: Book. 

The later part of 2010 has been a year of rereading books and reading comic books.

One new book that I read this year that does stick out is Chuck Thompson's "To Hellholes and Back: Bribes, Lies, and the Art of Extreme Tourism." I actually wrote about it at the beginning of the year here.

I mainly read non-fiction books about travel and I find that Thompson is one of those rare travel writers who tells the truth. He doesn't gussy it up to some sparkling revelation while on the Eiffel Tower or in a yurt with some nomadic Mongolians. If you've done any traveling I recommend reading his books not only are they humorous but honest reflections of what it is like to travel.

I can't really say much more than what I've said already. You should just read the book.
