I don't know her itinerary.

I'm not sure if we don't have 10 already, but if not, I'd like to nominate And Dreams Are Dreams by Vassilis Vassilikos.
According to Amazon review, "There is a beauty in his words unsurpassed even by Beckett himself."
Now, doesn't that sound intriguing?
If she doesn't get to visit Crete tell her to ask for a refundShe visited both. She visited six islands in total. The only other ones I recall were Mikenos and Patmos. Don't know if i spelled those correctly.

Helens have great poets, and not in list, is it for only novels?

no school in June so I could participate. Would it be too dorky to nominate The Republic of Plato?
A little but we love ya for it!

Greek lit huh? not come across any before to be honest, apart from the ancient stuff of course. I'll be interested to see what some of the modern novels are like. Nikos Kazantzakis sounds interesting, I might well vote for one of those unless someone convinces me one of the other nominations is better.
I'm a blank slate on this one though so if anyone wants to advocate any of the books it will help me decide
The Illiad by Homer.
does anyone know what country is on the list for July?
*raises hand, jumping up and down*
Me, me, me!
