But these books fuelled my sense of wunderlust which eventually led me to travel/work in some of these regions. I frequently revisit The Great Game for inspiration and recommend it to any of my colleages who travel to Afghanistan - it is a 'must read' book for those who travel to this region. I recon I have given away about five copies of this book and it never comes back. Hopkirk books are real 'life changers' for me. <br /><br />Jim Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88759862385027089.post-38400995926450870962015-10-12T02:32:18.915+01:002015-10-12T02:32:18.915+01:00Having read first "The Search For Kim", ...Having read first "The Search For Kim", I quickly became addicted and have read all of his books...at my pleasure for having learned so much, thanks Peter!<br /><br />Hopkirk's writing was like being there, in the adventures of life!
