What I'm Reading Now -- Monsoon Seas

S recommended Monsoon Seas: The Story of the Indian Ocean, by Alan Villiers, to me in furtherance of my reading about the world from Indonesia to Mauritius.

As far as I can tell after a foray into the first few pages, it's the Indian Ocean's equivalent to my recent read of A Brief History of Indonesia -- as concise of a history as is reasonable to write about something that has thousands of years of history. 

We'll see what fun new things I can learn!
