Bookpacking

With backpacking round the world no longer (if it ever was) an option I have decided instead to embark on ‘bookpacking’ – my latest ‘reading journey’ intended to wend its way round the globe calling in at a few countries on each continent to sample a relatively contemporary book set there, written by a local author not previously read; twenty-six books over two years is the plan, with the first leg already begun with a short virtual hop to Dublin courtesy of Paul Murray’s “Skippy Dies”.
