Recommended reading? As much in life, it depends on your interests. I like history and trivia. Advance preparation helps plan the route to cover what you don’t want to miss. And once you’re not in Kansas anymore, it increases your power of observation as well as your potential for experiencing Oz. (The public library is an amazing resource.) Given my interests, these books served me well.Lonely Planet Guidebook on Mongolia
