I am not much of a fan of travel writing--I always sort of cringed at the whole idea of going off to somebody else's country and then coming home and taking the piss out of it for 100,000 words. But a friend recently gave me Notes from a Big Country, and I have to say I have not laughed so much over a book in a long time. As an American who has lived in Scotland for 7 years and occasionally suffers bouts of homesickness(best cure for this--for those fellow ex-pat Yanks out there: fly into San Francisco on a summer afternoon and then sit in a traffic jam on 101 in the smog and heat for three hours-- you'll never be so glad you don't live there!!) I can relate... FrankieB
