Long Way Round
by Charley Boorman; Ewan McGregor
Buy book: $16.17

Actor Ewan McGregor ("Moulin Rouge") and his best friend Charley Boorman (son of director John Boorman) present this chronicle of their endeavor to circumnavigate the world on motorbikes, traveling for three months through some of the harshest terrain imaginable.

 

The premise is very interesting, especially when you factor in the "celebrity" element since we tend to think of our "stars" definition of roughing it as staying at a three star hotel.
I look forward to the next segments.

I am sooo excited that this is a book club pick this week! I saw Charlie Boorman on a morning show a few months back when he was in town for a big motorcycle show. He was talking about his journey and I thought it sounded pretty cool, but I wasn't aware that they'd written a book. I can't wait to read more...

Your right - travel and doing something with ones life is great! A person who is just transfixed on the right thing to do in regards to money and the future does not truely live life.

A book most men would like to experience fully ,if not already

Forwarded my husband a chapter, knowing this was a book he'd love. He immediately signed up as a member of the non-fiction online book club so he'd receive the next installment in his own mailbox. He also requested a copy of the book. Have a feeling we'll have to wrestle each other to read it however, as I am enjoying it so much too. Thanks for the selection.

Loved this read. Looked forward to it each day. Will finish the book. I have ridden bikes for many years, although not recently. This story rekindled the feelings I felt. Makes me regret selling my old BSA 500 Single.
