I'm glad of Bookpossum's nomination, as I was on the fence about rereading this and its sequel before embarking on the newly published and wildly anticipated third book. As I slowly reread, it's obvious that was the only choice and I'm embarrassed not to have added anything to the dicussion. I wondered if it could live up to my memory of it and its status as my favorite travel book ever, and indeed it does; I'm delighted that so many here share my appreciation of PLF.
I'm looking forward to reading in the next several months all three books plus the biography by Artemis Cooper published last year. Hmm, I just realized I'm currently reading something else by Cooper; I guess it will be a year for her, also.
