I picked up 5 mint Viz annuals ("The last Turkey in the Shop" to "The Billposters Bucket") each going for £1.99 in my local Oxfam yesterday evening. They will give me quite literally a few hours of quality toilet reading.

Have just bought Whoops! by the same guy.. I suspect it's one of those books about facts that fiction would never get away with.

Did he write - 100 great boat journeys around the world (because I don't like flying) or have I got the wrong gooner ?

"Among the Russians - from the Baltic to the Caucasus" by Colin Thubron. This was written early in the 80's and describes his journey by road through Russia.
To quote Martin Auty from the back cover, "Travel writing has never been more provocative, profound or poetic."

Having a break from the seafaring books for a bit and have instead been working my way though some of the other books I've had sitting waiting, so here's an update:
Raising Steam - Terry Pratchett. I like his books and it's good to see he's still on good form despite his health. My only observation is that the ending feels something of a rush, as though there were slightly too many ideas for one story.
A Lake District Grand Tour - Mike Carden. Enjoyed this one, especially as I've ridden quite a few of the roads he takes around the southern lakes.
Shada - Gareth Roberts' novelisation of the Doctor Who story by Douglas Adams. Very good. It's a shame this story was never completed for TV as it would have been a classic.
Current book is The Code of the Woosters - P.G. Wodehouse. Convoluted upper-class silliness. Very good fun.

I am half way through Middlemarch, just another forty-five chapters to go. Not bad, actually. LOL funny in places, although the narration is a little hard to follow in places.
