(Sometimes, the best books I read are ones that I randomly leaf through and grab off a library shelf. This is true in the case of this book. I'm not sure if it's because of my adventurous traits or my experiences visiting many of the places the author speaks of, but I loved this book!)
(Perhaps because I could relate to the author, I flew through this book literally in one afternoon while in between jobs. It was a fast read and made me think back to times when I've been depressed and quietly contemplating suicide myself)
