Travel Reading

Oh drat. Posted in the wrong forum. Sorry.

I'm planning an overland train journey, a couple of boats will also be involved on a river or two. I need four weeks worth of reading to cover the following countries, some will or can be non fiction but I would like them to be somewhat relevant to the countries and towns i see.
Starting in France, then.

Germany
Poland
Georgia
Russia
China
North and South Korea
Thailand
Myanmar
Possibly Laos or Cambodia
Then a week in Thailand with the family before flying home from Bangkok

So far I have

Round the world in eighty days
Anna Karenina
Please don't suggest War and Peace. No way could I plod through that again.
Burmese days and Shooting an Elephant
Probably something by Kipling

So, what else should i have on the Kindle?
