Sue's Reviews > Riding the Iron Rooster

Theroux is a wonderful writer! He has written informative and and entertaining travel books.

He was born in Medford!!

Do you have a favorite Barb?

I have not read any recently and I have to search my memory for titles- I'll get back to you!

thanks.

I found the book by Theroux that I read some time ago. It was buried in my collection. To the Ends of the Earth is quite good, but I have read others by him.

I found Sunrise with Seamonsters in a box on my sunporch that hadn't been completely emptied yet. guess I'll have to add it.

His essay collections are pretty good

I guess it's time I gave him a try since I now find I actually have a book in my possession. I have Bruce Chatwin's Songlines which I think I barely started also. As you can see, I've had this "too many books" problem for quite some time. At least lately I seem to be doing something about it.

I haven't read it, but I see that people are enthusiastic about it.
Sue, I have "too many books" on my list too. One of the problems is that when I learn about a really wonderful, new book I have to read that ASAP! Thus my list does not decrease much.

At least I've been reading some books on the list lately so I've been moving some to "read". But I've decided I'm not going to worry about it. I'll just add the books and get to them when I can.

Ditto!
