I'm off to Uzbekhistan next year - and I've read the posh guide books and 'The Railway' any other recommendations?

A forum for discussing books travellers should read to understand the character of the destinations they visit.
These could be "travel literature" in the traditional sense, such as most of what Bill Bryson writes, or it could be all manner of other reading material, from history books to novels. (Not guidebooks.)
Please keep your reviews and recommendations to the appropriate thread. For example, if it is a book on Vietnam then comment in the Vietnam thread. If there isn't a thread for the country the book/s refer to, then start a new one.

jhattam I liked "Chasing the Sea" by Tom Bissell, a former Peace Corps volunteer in Uzbekistan, a lot.
