It’s that time of year again! Twice a year, every winter and summer, High Peaks Pure Earth updates the Tibet Reading List, helping you to fill those long summer days on the beach, in parks, in cafes, in the library or on the move. We couldn’t possibly put the list together alone, thank you to various readers who have been in touch via Twitter or email with reading recommendations.
We’ve added the following eleven books to the existing list:
