Rounding out the reading list

So here's the rest of the trip's reading list:

Shanghai Girls --Lisa Lee (always excellent)

Burn Out -- Marcia Muller (ditto)

One Shot --Lee Child (ditto)

Under the Table -- Katherine Darling (really fun)

The Girl Who Played With Fire -- Steig Larsson (possibly better than The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)

Of our travel books we used Rick Steves Provence and the DK Top Ten Guide; we took along Michelin and the DK larger guide but never used them. We also took the new Pudlo guide to hotels and restaurants. We had used it to find a couple hotels, and we used it once to find a restaurant in Nice.

In New England we took the DK guide but found it almost useless. We kidnapped Martha's Fodor, which was excellent; we used it every day for almost everything from restaurants to hotels to sights to see.
