I've had both in our GSB (Gift Suggestion Book) since before my October birthday but so far none of the family have taken the hint .

Maybe they just don't want me to get the wanderlust and go .

Luckily my sister took the hint. She even got me signed copies.

How does his style compare with Josie Dew and Anne Mustoe, or Tim Moore and Edward Enfield all of which I've really enjoyed reading?

I may have to read AH then.

The next travel/adventure book I would really like to read is the Seven Pillars of Wisdom by TE Lawrence.

Nick Danziger is good as a travel writer, journalist and photographer.
Colin Thubron as well.

Yep there are one or two excellent journals on CGOAB, the best I have to say are from British tourers. I can only take so much of the American view of life.

A weird race. The shared language is a coincidence.
