Recommended Reading

The following are books we have found interesting, useful and enjoyable. They include language books, for self-study or teaching; reference books; travel guides to help you find your way around and enjoy new places; travel writing to give you someone's impressions of life in a foreign place; and novels set in specific locations that give a sense of place/culture/history.

Of course, these lists are by no means exhaustive and they reflect the experience and tastes of the director, staff and students at JMJ. If you have any comments or suggestions for other books to add, please contact us.
