The Grand Tour, by Tim Moore


Interesting, but LONG European travel book. Writer Tim Moore follows the footsteps of a Thomas Coryate, who first used foreign travel as a way to increase his status at court in 1608. Moore follows his trail, in modern times, and his snarkiness reminded me of Bill Bryson. I really liked this book, but I'm not sure why it took me so damn long to read it.
