Reading Michael Palin
Michael Palin has been one of my favourite people on the planet since I was first introduced to his stuff sometime in the 80's. If you don't know of him, here are three very good reasons why you should.
1. Monty Python's Flying Circus.
2. Hemingway's Chair.
3. Those delightful travel documentaries and books.
Now Selva of Scientific Indian informs us that all the travel books are now available online for free. I personally like the TV series a bit better, but the books are an excellent place to start, if you're new to Palin. What's more, the website (Palin's Travels) is pretty fab in and of itself. If any of you have watched "Himalaya", please let me know what you think since I haven't watched it yet.
