I finally finished One Hundred Years of Solitude and what did I find waiting for me in the book exchange : It better be good Dave, or I am holding you responsible!

God no – the English version was bad enough! I´ve never heard of it but I´ll keep an eye out for Shantaram, cheers.

I just want to clarify that i haven’t read Michael J Fox’s Autobography and have no plans to do so.

I don’t think Salman Rushdie has read Michael J Fox’s Autobography either, I have been told recently that it is a very good read and apparently he owns a Pug.
What is the other book in the picture, the one by your left foot?

And presume that’s the original Spanish version Rob?! Get a copy of Shantaram, its a good backpacker read.

Hi Jen, welcome on board the 12 countries 12 months bus. Rach and I both think you should treat yourself to a holiday over here and come visit us – leave Nigel at home to organise the wedding!

I was (and still am, and probably will be for ages) reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. According to Salman Rushdie it is “The greatest novel in any language of the last fifty years” I dont think he can have read the latest John Grisham thriller though!

I’m getting more and more jealous the more I read of your travels! The photos all look fantastic and I’m glad you’re having a fab time. Please keep up with the interesting posts! Now I’ve got all this time off work I’m starting to think that a holiday to South America sounds good….
