Title: One of my All-Time Favorites
Review: Tony Horwitz manages to do something many writers strive to do and almost none succeed at: Telling a farcical tale of his travel experiences and not only making it both believeable and hilarious, but doing so in such a way that you feel you have been there yourself. This is one of the few books I reread on a regular basis. You can open it to any page in the middle, start reading, and truly enjoy it. Each Middle Eastern country is dealt with differently, presenting different challanges and adventures, from the fundamentalist Iran to the poverty of Sudan to the totalitarian Iraq to the apathetic Yemen. He brings us an entertaining view of the many differences in a world we have previously thought to be homogenous. A must read!
