Mystic Mountain Hop

I am not even committing to this challenge but might as well set up a place to report and play it by ear

I am eyeing France, UK, and Afghanistan so far

I'm thinking Afghanistan for sure.

I'm liking your section titles. Your Mystic Mountain hop reminds me of a bar on a beach in Thailand called Mushroom Mountain or Magic Mountain or Magic Mushroom Mountain. I can't remember now.

Yeah writing reserved gets dull so I went with song titles instead keepong with the trips theme

Maybe you could choose your books so that you feel like your in a constant trip. Lots of weird fiction, cyberpunk and a fear and loathing reread should do it!

England book Warriors of the Storm

When I think about trips as it applies to you, Travis, I was thinking your sections could be hazards of traveling: Rolled Down a Mountain, Crushed in a Glacier, Boiled by a Geyser, Tripped off a Bridge, Sank in the Sea, Trampled by Wildlife, Speared by Natives. :0)

So you see death in my travels apparently. Guess I'll pack light

Perhaps take a doctor with you?

Better just stay home and send a body double

A box of band aid and some calamine lotion will do it.

And neosporin

Oh, how could I forget!

LOL! Calling your thread "Travis Trips" set the mood. Travis trips and falls and skins his nose.

UK:
Warriors of the Storm
Sovereign
Need crown book

Germany:
The Beggar King

Afghanistan:
A book by Khaled HosseiniAnd the Mountains Echoed

Blue bookSuper Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America

Japan:
Book by Haruki Murakamiki
War book
The Dovekeepers possibly

France:

Possibly a reread of Les Misérables
Inamoratapossibly
The Rook black cover

I feel like I didn't think I would do thid challenge and now I may go for several sites. At least here is 4 potentials.

You'll easily cover the coloured cover books and with all the fantasy reads you'll have no problem with a crown and war book I guess. The cave one will be fun though.

I think a book, and yhere are several simikar to Subterraneanwould handle the cave. But I don't care much for those type books so far

The Descent might handle the cave. Will need to investigate further

Maybe my post was lost. The Last Hunter: Pursuit will fit caves. I found the first bpok a bot too YA but it would br a quick read

India:
Sharpe's Triumph
Probably a Dickens
The Great Train Robbery

Battle Royale also can be dystopian

It's really red. Let me know what you think of it if you get to it before me. I've heard mixed responses, but bought it anyway.

Well hunger games trilogy was hot and cold for me and in school I hated Lord of the flies. Although a reread might not hurt. Either way battle Royale looks kind of like a mix of those 2 so I can understand why the mixed reviews.

I liked the Battle Royale film from what I recall of it. I'm guessing the book is better. It's usually the case.

I Am the Messenger
Island 731

I just bought I am the Messenger. Meet to work it in now.

So I started Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae and came to see where I had it marked to read. I didn't. Funny it is the first one I pick up only to find it not in my list. Could have sworn it was.

Looks like it will make a nice Germany book for fighting with spears

Looks like a happy accident then Travis. Enjoy.

I read Gates of Fire long, long ago. I remember it being pretty accurate to what actually happened in the Thermopylae. I hope you enjoy it.

All my friends that have read it gave it 5 stars so that's a good sign. I believe it was on my shelf because it was recommended. Then it was in an audible sale a couple weeks back. I listened to a little today but wasn't really in the mood. I had just found final enlightenment in Dante's Divine Comedy to start Gates of Fire which opens with a young girl raped. I don't know wasn't quite in the mood at the time.

Yeah, some things need the right mood.
I read it in 2001, so I don't really remember too many details. We were living in Brazil and I bought a copy in Portuguese that I kept for years, until we moved here and had to get rid of it.
But what I really remember is how well the feeling of those 300 men trying to stop Xerxes, and knowing they will fail, was expressed. Talk about courage and service.
Good amount of action too, if I'm remembering right.

Finished a soear fighting for Germany Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae

Hmmm... where's Rusalka when I need her? I need someone to translate "soear". LOL!

Spear!

Only took me 38mins. Maybe we need to invest in a Russy-Signal!

There are about 5 letters on my keypad on my phone that consistantly give me trouble hitting. P is one of them

Ahhh! Spear makes sense. Usually, I have no trouble reading "travis-type", but last night it was beyond me.

What I have problems with on my cell phone is the return button. Often
