Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-23 00:00:00 Lynn Roberts This rapid read (154 pages) is a collection of quotes about traveling, and the places traveled to. 95% of these bits of verbiage are negative, some are hilarious: “Living in California adds ten years to a man’s life. And those extra years I’d like to spend in New York.” Harry Ruby “New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most of it unsolved.” Johnny Carson “It isn’t necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy.” Groucho “Boy those French, they have a different word for everything.” Steve Martin “There’s something Vichy about the French.” Ivor Novello quoted by Edward March “...the German voice issuing German demands and German orders to everybody who doesn’t speak German. For this, and several other reasons, Germany is known as “the land where Israelis learned their manners” PJ ORourke “It is untrue that Germans are bad drivers. They hit everything they aim at.” Joey Adams “She said that all the sights in Rome were called after London cinemas.” Nancy Mitford “An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.” George Mikes *** It's the kind of book you read in a waiting room, although giggling might concern the folks around you. It's up to you. And, you know what? i DO still want to live there.
