What did you think of this one? It's one of my favourite books of all time although it's a long time since I last read it.

I enjoyed it very much. I was very pleased at how fresh and funny and "modern" it seemed, even read today. Like many first-time readers of the piece, I was led to it by Connie Willis's To Say Nothing of the Dog - one of my favorite books. I was not disappointed.

(Wikipedia says it was originally intended as a serious/non-fictional travel guide! My goodness, but the author failed at that, in my opinion, even as he very much succeeded at telling a rollicking, humorous story!)
