Now I'm in a small and rough room of a tenement on the back of a poor restaurant, some blocks away the bus station, which is located in the outskirts of the extremely hot and strange city of Porto Velho, in the Brazilian Amazonia.
Tomorrow I'll catch a plane to Manaus, my last destination before coming back to São Paulo in order to settle for a while...
On this series of travels through Europe, North and South America, from the end of November 2010 to the beginning of August 2011, mostly after I definitely quit my job in Brighton in January 2011, I have been reading books while traveling, as usual, for I love reading...
Since I was changing my life, when I started these travels, leaving behind a failed marriage/family, I decided to sell out everything I could, and to give away what I couldn't sell...
I forgot to advertise my books, so I decided to bring some of them with me...
When I finished reading one of them, I just gave it away to someone along the way, a host, a friend or anyone I had just met and thought deserved the book!
Here goes the list with the books and where I left them behind!
I hope their new owners enjoy them as much or more than I did!
