Richard Grant, "God's middle finger". The author attempts to cross the whole of the western Sierra Madre, home to narcos and poisonous animals
Sam Quiñones, "True tales from another Mexico". Good journalistic documentary stories about all sorts of odd corners of Mexico, Ten years old but still very interesting
David Lida, "First Stop in the New World - Mexico City, The Capital of the 21st Century". If you wonder why I, or anyone else for that matter, would want to visit the megalopolis, you`ve gotta read this
Roberto Bolaño, "The Savage Detectives" (translated) - This was left in Mexico city to cut weight. I`ve really gotta get good enough in Spanish to be able to read the original.
Graham Greene, "The Power and the Glory" - Story of a nameless priest, set against the backdrop of anti-catholic government policies in the 1920s-30s. Based on 5 weeks of solitary travel by Greene through Tabasco and Chiapas in 1938
