11.		The Discovery of France from Picador Price: £5.99 Customer Review: This is a superbly written history-cum-travelogue.

13.		Jupiter's Travels from Penguin Price: £6.94 Customer Review: I really enjoyed reading the first part of this book as Ted travelled down through Africa. He seemed focussed on the journey ahead, seemed interested in all the contrasting people around him and included lots of detail about his bike. From South America onwards however, he seemed to lose interest in... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.		Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: On the Tracks of 'The Great Railway Bazaar' from Hamish Hamilton Price: £12.00 Customer Review: I have enjoyed Theroux's books of his other rail journeys, particularly Black Star Safari but this one left me cold and bored.

16.		Down Under from Black Swan Price: £6.29 Customer Review: I must be honest and say that I started this book in tandem with another just because I didn't think I'd be terribly interested in the subject matter, much as I love Bryson. By the end of the second chapter, I wanted to book a ticket on the next flight to Perth. The flora, fauna and folks that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.		Long Way Round from Time Warner Paperbacks Price: £5.60 Customer Review: I got through it fairly quickly, which should mean that I found it sufficiently captivating. If you have a passion for motorcycles, it helps. I was somewhat disappointed that it was not as detailed as I expected.
