My favorite books ccc contest Entry
My favorite genre of books is travel. I have always been a wanderer and like to read about other people who do the same. I’m not talking about guide books. The type of travel I like to read is about people who document their own adventures on the road.
Here are a few examples of the many books that have inspired me over the years.
In Patagonia by Bruce Chatwin was an early favorote of mine. The author set out from England to the tip of South America because of stories and relics from an ancestor who had been there.
He did not have real plans except to get to Patagonia and beyond. he kind of stumbled his way there with a lot of detours. Then when he did arrive, nothing was as he had thought it would be.
While some might be put off by this type of travel, I was inspired. When do we ever really know where we are going anyway?
Pico Iyer has a similar type of adventure in Video in in Katmandu. Or rather, he has many similar tales in various locations. Each chapter take place in a new spot as he wanders through taking it all in. This is how I like to travel. I do not need to know what I am seeing. I just like to see it.
Paul Theroux is another wandering man. His Happy Isles of Oceania tells the story of how he paddled a canoe around and between many Pacific islands during a rough point in his life. I would never in a million years do such a thing, but it was a very entertaining read. You cannot get much more lost than when you drag your canoe up on a new beach!
I have read many more books of this type over the years, and always get inspired. It makes my feel like I have soulmates in this life of rootlessness I lead. Not many have been written by women, so maybe I should have the goal to write one of my own!

I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!

Ah.. no wonder :) Is that how you ventured to Malaysia? I have always salute those, while in search of themselves, who would venture into a new place and start a life there, something like Eat, Pray, Love. I am not sure if I can do it but I think if situation permits or if situation calls for it, I might possibly do it :)
I'm so late to my replies, @marblely! I had plans to "travel the world" once my son was grown. Now he is , so now I am doing it. I wish I had started much earlier and dragged him along with me :)
I think these are the only kind of books I do not like to read.. Well, not the only kinds... Good to know you are a wanderer too...
