Running in Place
I had a very hard time enjoying this book. It felt disjointed, and I could not relate to the writer. It is a literature professor's memoir on traveling to the same area in Provence over the course of 30 years, and has a very literature-based take on it. I got the feeling from the writer that he was of the sort who has many opportunities given to him, and that, combined with some minor name-dropping, kept me from connecting to his story. Some passages (particularly Lascaux), piqued my interest and kept me reading. Otherwise, it did not hold my interest at all.
