[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to INHALE travel memoirs. They definitely scratch an itch. I love Peter Hessler's books about China. The first is River Town, which is about his life in China as a Peace Corp volunteer. His writing is amazing. [/quote] Peter Hesslers China books are great, why isn’t he writing anymore, wish he would Bill Bryson’s travel books are fun reads but sometimes the writing can be quite snarky and unkind My absolute favorite expat life book is Driving Over Lemons by Chris Stewart - Englishman and his wife buy and fix up a decrepit farm in rural Andalucia with little money and a lot of can do attitude. The humor is self deprecating without any condescension at the expense of the locals like in the Peter Mayle or Frances Mayes books. This book is an absolute gem, the writer is a genuinely good guy and it shows in his writing [/quote]
