review 1: A wonderful collection of travel pieces and excerpts by good writers, including Theroux himself, organized into thematic chapters, such as "The Pleasures of Railways," "Fears, Neuroses and Other Conditions," "Travel Wisdom of Evelyn Waugh," and "Everything is Edible Somewhere." Great for taking on the road--fake leather binding with elastic bookmark, attractive for cats that chew such. Definitely a book you can read in short or long bursts, while something else is not happening.
review 2: Paul Theroux is a wonderful travel writer, and for him to write a book on the philosophy - the path, or way, or doctrine - of travelers and travel writers through the ages made me immediately order it. It was good, and I enjoyed most of it. However, the book was mostly quo... moretes from many other travel writers rather than Theroux's work. I missed his sense of humor, the main reason I loved all his previous travel books. less
