Welcome to Litsy!

Once I started seeing all those deathtraps out there, I couldn't shake my curiosity. I wanted to jump on and circumnavigate the planet on that unseen artery of mass transit. I wanted to know what it was like on the ferries that killed people daily, the buses that plunged off cliffs, the airplanes that crashed. I wanted to travel around the world as most of the people in the world did, putting their lives at risk every time they took off on...

The ending felt very unsatisfying. The whole book I felt like the ending was going to involve divorce, but the ending didn‘t even involve a proper ending or closure. This book is funny in the way of a Troost book, but it had a much darker tone because, ultimately, this is his addiction and recovery memoir. It‘s actually heartbreaking in some ways, and it‘s hard to put my finger on exactly why.

I‘m not sure if this is funny or tragic. He‘s returned to Kiribati without his wife and children (apparently they have 2 sons now), having seemingly run away from home after going to rehab for alcoholism (at least he‘s not drinking), and he‘s waxing poetic about how things are just how they were when they left. It‘s funny in its way, but it‘s also heartbreaking. I seriously feel like this is a harbinger of divorce ahead.

Finally have some time to read today. I am so excited to start this one!!!

This is the first book. That wasn‘t made clear and both audiobooks were released on the exact same day, so whoops. This one is just as funny as Getting Stoned with Savages, and they were definitely in a more remote area in this one. Even his descriptions of returning to western civilisation and having to readjust were funny. I can‘t wait to dig into Headhunters on My Doorstep.

I live just across the river from North Dakota and it‘s a very different world on the other side of the river. They have more restaurants and then it‘s just flat land. I don‘t know why they haven‘t left yet, either.
