I also am a fan of Michael Palin’s books. Oddly enough though, I have never seen any of the accompanying television series. The books themselves are not ‘high art’ writing, nor are they incisive exposés of the places he visits. They are, however, interesting and observant travelogues from a person who I think would be an excellent person to travel with. I really enjoy them.
Actually, I enjoy travel books generally. They allow me to live vicariously and do, in my mind, all the travel that I wish I had time for in real life.
