***WHAT WE'RE READING***
"The Singing Line"
by Alice Thomson
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0701166762/entertainments08
In 1855 a young scientist called Charles Todd and his wife
Alice left Greenwich for Australia with a plan to wire the
continent by stringing a telegraph line across its wilderness.
In "The Singing Line" their great-great-granddaughter,
journalist Alice Thomson, retraces their journey, exploring
family as well as technological connections as she goes.

"In Siberia"
by Colin Thubron
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1856197980/entertainments08
"In Siberia" is an account of Thubron's 15,000-mile trip
across Russia's wild east. He encounters Mongol shamans,
ghostly gulag towns and an abandoned city where a lone
professor experiments with cosmic consciousness, in his search
for the "core of Siberia"--no easy quest in a land mass larger
than the USA and Europe combined.

"Livingstone's Tribe"
by Stephen Taylor
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/000255836X/entertainments08
The title refers to the white Africans who stayed on in
post-independence Africa, but author Stephen Taylor left for
Britain years ago. In "Livingstone's Tribe" he returns to his
former home, via Zanzibar, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia
and Zimbabwe, and observes the continent's complex beauty and
politics with sensitivity and insight.


***ARTICLE BY LAWRENCE DONEGAN***
Ex-Lloyd Cole and the Commotions bassist Lawrence Donegan
exchanges flat, job and girlfriend in London for a rat-
infested shack in Creeslough, County Donegal, where the local
paper is a two-man operation and Gaelic Football is king. In
an exclusive article for Amazon.co.uk, Donegan explains why
the movies were no preparation for Creeslough and debunks
five popular misconceptions about life in rural Ireland.
