I think I have read the lot to date. One not mentioned that should be compulsory for international forums such as this is the one about the English language and its application around the world - Mother Tongue I think. Manages to make sense of the language and still be very funny in parts. Dunno how he does it somethimes.

I think my overall favourite bits are in 'notes' where he likens wandering around the subways of Milton Keynes to those little animals that pop their heads out of holes occasionaly (forgot what they are called!) and in 'A walk in the woods' when they manage to loose a female companion and then get guilty conciences. But it's all good stuff.

Cheers
