I'm reading this one:
http://www.amazon.de/dann-weg-Meine-Reise-Jakobsweg/dp/3890293123
it's by a German comedian who walked the Camino de Santiago a few years ago, and wrote about his experiences "on the road"... I never intended to read it, but a friend gave it to me and it's kind of funny and very informative - though he likes talking about himself a little TOO much... |

I'm not sure... I started reading it on a train journey, because I didn't have anything else to read, and I had to laugh out loud several times - but now...I don't know, it's becoming slightly boring, especially because he likes talking about his great abilities so much... |
