Any good books you'd recommend?
 

Aside from "The HU Book of Ripping Yarns" does anyone have any books they'd recommend, for the non-travelling traveller? They could be technical like Adventure Motobiking or inspirational like Jupiter's Travels, or somewhere in between.

I suddenly realised my parents are going back to the UK for ten days and so will have access to London's finest bookshops, so just time to text them a list.

And, also while we're here, any must read bike mags? I can send them into WHSmiths too, and they can pick me up some "loo-reading".

Round Ireland With a Fridge by Tony Hawks. He's also written A Piano in the Pyrenees, but not read that one yet.

Hi

I recently read Kazakhstan - The land that Disappeared.

really great novel, in the style of Bill Bryson, but to me, better.

Enjoy!

Mccarthy's bar by Pete McCarthy.

He tries to visit as many bars with his name that he can, and there are a lot! Very funny.

I'm too modest to say whether it's good or not, but may I recommend my book? A strictly limited edition, I now have just one copy remaining - the rest sold or spoken for.

without a doubt, 3 cups of tea.
Check it for yourself, I did.
about Greg Mortensen, but he did not write it.

I think this thread already exists:

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Yes that thread existed, and I was torn between digging it up, and starting a new one, but I figured it was over a year old and there'd be a whole load more books and magazines out since the last post.

If a mod wants to merge them then feel free I guess.

There is absolutely no such thing in this universe.
However, that is not a prob: three cups of tea will work, just fine.
Trust me, or whatever.

Laugh Out Load
 

The "Sex Lives of Cannibals" is a laugh out loud travelouge. Very entertaining!

Dan Walsh's "These are the days that must happen to you" that and "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad which is roughly centered around overland travel....

:mchappy:ONE MAN CARAVAN" Robert Fulton's 1932-33 ride on a Douglas, leaving London and heading east,all the way to Japan and then by ship to his home country the US.

Dan Walsh's book is fantastic and very funny. Definately worth a read.

'Holy Cow' - Sarah MacDonald
 

If it's not too late, I'd like to recommend this.

Hells Angels
 

Hi, can I suggest Sonny Barger's "Freedom: Credos from the Road"? As the long serving leader of the original Hells Angels M/C Club, he writes of an original take on how to live and what to get out of life. It's not about how to hit somene out with a beer bottle, as some might expect. ( For that, just remember to follow through!) Linzi.
