I enjoy the occasional travel
genre book (a few good‘uns that come to mind are: A ‘Short Walk in the Hindu
Kush’, ‘Seven Years in Tibet’, and ‘Hunting Mr Heartbreak’) but today’s
travelling books did the journey themselves, in the mobile library van, to
which I made my first ever visit during its 45 minute stop in the village; time
enough to peruse the limited but interesting stock and make a selection, the
pick of which was the autobiography of Chris Hadfield, the astronaut who gave
us his rendition of David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ from the International Space
Station – now that’s what I call travelling.
