The Greatest

I finished A Sense of the World by Jason Roberts today. I picked this book up in a Borders in San Francisco. I knew I didn't need to spend the money but it seemed like just the thing I needed -- the tale of a blind man who traveled the world. It made my obstacles to world travel seem a bit trivial.

I loved this book. Travel, adventure and history all in a well-written biography of a fantastically interesting life.

There are books that pass the time, and then there are books that make you excited to be alive. This is the latter. I would say more, but I honestly would rather wait for you.
