MARKO BOOK CLUB // SILK ROADS by PETER FRANKOPAN // REVIEW #4 Marko 2019-01-27 | SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/gdR76X . This month we are reading Silk Roads: A New History of the World by Peter Frankopan. Last month I traveled to Uzbekistan to film a new travel vlog series for Vagabrothers, and this book was a huge inspiration for our trip. Here's episode 1 of that series: youtube.com/watch?v=xiJVQZmLaHE If you’re watching the vlogs from Uzbekistan, this book will be the perfect companion for those who want a deeper dive into the history of the great Silk Road Cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, and Tashkent, and the many soldiers, merchants and emperors who passed through - from Marco Polo to Alexander the Great, and Genghis Khan to Timurlane.

OVERSTORY by Richard Powell // Marko Book Club Review Earth Day 2020 Marko 2020-04-22 | In celebration of Earth Day, this month we read The Overstory by Richard Powell. Hailed as the world's first "eco-epic," it's the story of 9 strangers whose paths cross in the extreme lengths they go to protect the world's oldest trees - some of which know how to speak to humans.

CIRCE by Madeline Miller - MARKO BOOK CLUB REVIEW #9 Marko 2020-02-17 | This month, we read "Circe" by Madeline Miller. It's an extremely inventive re-imagination of Greek mythology as told through the eyes of Circe, a powerful mystical demi-goddess often portrayed as a 'witch' in the Odyssey. It brings the fascinating spiritual world of Ancient Greece alive through the oft-overlooked female perspective. Definitely a worthwhile read!

WAYFINDERS by WADE DAVIS National Geographic Explorer in Residence // Marko Book Club #6 Marko 2019-03-17 | THE WAYFINDERS by WADE DAVIS: amzn.to/2O9v2UVSIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/gdR76X This month's non-fiction selection was a major influence both me and Vagabrothers - "The Wayfinders" by National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Wade Davis. If you are interested in other cultures, this book will blow your mind. Wade Davis is an anthropologist with an adventurer's spirit and a poet's heart, and he's spent his whole life traveling the world and documenting the world's many cultures - and how they are disappearing faster than most of us realize. This book is a celebration of cultural diversity, a critique of "progress" that causes cultures to vanish, and a call to action to stop it.
