Off To The Hindu Kush

I am now on a reading-about-Central Asia kick, and have just finished Eric Newby’s account of misadventures in Nuristan, A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush. It all started with reading Peter Hopkirk’s book The Great Game. Next I have to figure out just what Alexander the Great was doing in those parts, but not before finishing Hogfather! (UP GOUGER! UP ROOTER! UP TUSKER! UP SNOUTER!).
