A Journey of One's Own, 3rd Edition
I enjoyed the writing style. I found the advice uncommon and uncommonly interesting. But ultimately, what this book did was re-emphasize for me my disinterest in travel to any but a very few first-world places. I kept reading the little travelogue excerpts and flinching. My reaction to much of this book was, "Oh, I am so glad I'll NEVER have to do that. Or go there. Or eat that. Or have that conversation." I liked the packing advice very much, and one needn't be actively avoiding dysentery to use it.
