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.
