Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-24 00:00:00 Klaas Butter i love a well-written travel book. this one seemed to hold the promise of a curmudgeonly trek through little-known parts of the world sprinkled with humor and insights. heck, susan sontag was blurbed on the back cover saying how wonderful she thought this book was. i really tried to like this book. there is only so much self-aggrandized navel-gazing self-pitying i can manage to read without throwing up my hands and saying, "next!" if the author was simply trying to grow as a person, looking for external events to change the internal person, i'm willing to give them a shot. krich, instead, whined. and whined. when i gave up on trying to like this book i decided i'd try to just finish it. that lasted less than 100 pages. a few months later i thought, this book couldn't have been that bad. maybe i was just in a bad frame of mind when i tried reading it. so i tried reading it a second time -- and quickly decided i was right the first time. krich does not speak to me. maybe he does it for other readers, but not me.
