100,000 Fools of God: Musical Travels in Central Asia- Levin's first book, this chronicles his return to Central Asia. Levin records information about the peasants; such as the stories they kept alive through music, the actual music itself, how they dealt with Soviet rule, and even the shaman healers that use music to heal the sick. This book has a wealth of information pertaining to Central Asia folk customs and the evolving post-soviet culture.

Where Rivers and Mountains Sing- This is Levin's second book that takes the reader once again on a journey through Central Asia. Levin begins the novel by chronicling his experiences with a Tuvan throat-singing group. He vividly explains and details the Tuvan people's ideas about nature and animals, and how their music reproduces the sounds and actions of those animals. The idea of tradition is also brought up frequently, especially in the case of the throat singers. The world is embracing them, and Levin details the effects of the popularity on the performers and the traditions.
