This is a new feature for the South Pacific Book Chat, wherein we make a post after the chat every week, featuring a list of books/authors/websites mentioned during the course of the chat.
It'll be organised like this:
topic of the night books
website links with book lists
authors mentioned
off-topic books that came up in the chat
I hope that's clear for everyone - lol.
First up, is Burma. It was an interesting chat, although a little bit short. World literature is something that I'm conscious of ... not having read enough of so I was interested to see what Burma-related books came up. (Yes, I'll probably ramble like this every week on this post.)
Anyway! The books/authors/links that came up in the Burma chat:

Under the Dragon: A Journey Through Burma, by Rory MacLean
