You may have noticed my silence lately. I have been engaged in a blogging interregnum. However, this little break in the blogging action is almost over because on Wednesday David, Hope, Fernando and I hit the road again, this time heading for the northeast city of Recife.
In the past few days I have been doing a lot of reading, due in part to access to the books I had stashed at Jocelyn's house as well as the books in English I have been able to pick up at bookstores in Campinas. The long reading drought has mercifully ended! So, the following is a list of books and articles I have been working on lately. The only one that is not related to Brasil is the novel by Nadine Gordimer, which is set in South Africa, but is still a really good read.

I had to look the word up in wikipedia, and it means a gap between one reigning sovereign and another. Who is ascending to your throne o master of the blog?
I was referring to the tyranny of the travel schedule. The interregnum (the gap) is our restful time in Campinas between the demanding sovereignty of the Amazon and the soon-to-be demanding sovereignty of the northeast city of Recife.
