pickI found this book really interesting. It‘s not my favourite Paul Theroux but still pretty good. I have a bit of a morbid fascination with the stories behind the decline of small town America.
I still can‘t travel due to Covid restrictions. So I‘ve decided to travel to the southern states of the USA through the pages of this book. The fact that Paul Theroux is one of my favourite travel writers is an added bonus.
A great way to end #MarchintoOz
I'm probably a little bit too keen on travel writing - some may say obsessed. I can't pick a favourite so I'm going with one of the modern greats, Paul Theroux.

Thanks for organising @Cinfhen @Lizpixie ... another great month of fun, inventive prompts.
Time for a trek through the Mississippi Delta. 🎷
1. Deep South by Paul Theroux. The Best Women‘s Travel Writing makes me want to travel too.
2. London!
3. London!
4. Drive, although that won‘t get me to London.
5. Gelato.

People are always asking when I get time to read now that I have two little ones. Well this is mainly the answer. 20 minutes of stolen reading while the baby sleeps and the pre-schooler takes too long over breakfast. This is why I'm now only getting through a book a month. If that. Enjoying this book which is essentially a collection of essays as its easy to dip in and out of.
bailedDNFing this sucker for shades of poverty porn and racism. No man is infallible, I guess. Even one whose writing you have bought and read faithfully for over a decade.
Full review over on Goodreads.
What a reading year 2016 has been! I read way more than I expected to, and read a lot of great books. I loved my first year attempting the #readharder challenge; but most of all I loved discovering Litsy ❤️
Starting (early!) the new year's rule of shopping my bookshelves with an author that never disappoints.

Theroux discussing travel writing about the USA and what he thinks many outsiders misunderstand. Unintentionally timely ebook reading. #mommyreads #booksonphones
pickloved, loved, loved this book. A very honest and refreshing look at the American South, with its best & worst.
pick#recommendsday Theroux drove the backroads of the South over the course of four seasons and created an insightful, thoughtful travel memoir. I think the beauty of the book lies in his conversations with the people he met along the way.
Hour 7. Always love Paul Theroux.
