2 · Spanish Steps

Regular readers will have seen this one coming, at least. Is Tim Moore the funniest travel writer around today? Funny enough for me, anyway. Choosing a favourite out of his books is hard: for a long while Frost on My Moustache looked like the front-runner, but I think it has to be his newest, Spanish Steps, for being the story of more than Moore alone. I guess it’s the fitting choice in a “best of 2004” list.

Speaking of Spain, if you’re heading that way I highly recommend the Time Out guide to Andalucía.

Here’s what people said about this entry.

I've been reading all of these, and I own some and don't own others, but top marks for a very definite list of the best of 2004. Now if only Elephant Woman was in there somewhere... : )

That should be 'definitive'. You need a 'preview' button. (Or at least a 'click here if you're drunk' button.)

Glad to hear you’re enjoying them, James (both Tim Moore’s books and these posts). Sorry about the lack of Preview—I discarded it in the testing stage in a fit of pique. Will bring it back in next year’s model.
