David Ritchie asked if I enjoyed McCarthy's Bar -- a book I bought
on his recommendation. Yes, I did, very much so. It was off-beat
and entertaining and informative and interesting. But I think my
favorite travel writer is Pico Iyer. The only book I've read of
his is "Video Night in Kathmandu" -- immensely fun reading, a
strange and witty writer.
I've ordered a copy of this.
And I haven't forgotten Robert Paul's recommendation of Anthony
Powell. I bought the volumes, but like hikers on the Devil's Dyke,
they're taking the slow way to the top.
