Travels with William is a feast of a book: it has vivid descriptions of traveling in Greece, of crazy characters, and, yes, of food. It's also nourishing: it depicts the dynamics of a real... This description may be from another edition of this product.
It's the next best thing to being there with Muguoux and William as they twist travel into high, personal adventure. I rate it "SC" for Strong Contrasts as these two observant, opionated and most complementary lovers create chasms of difference over which you will be suspended only by your armchair. Getting hungry? They will make you crave octopus and retsina, even if you hate it. And they've just dusted off a cafe seat for you as jealous local lovers prepare to spill various fluids, some bodily, right over your table and into your lap. I suggest a window seat with a view with a napkin nearby for this read.
Unlikely Path to Enligtening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I just read this book - it was funny and enlightening - lots of "A-ha's". You might think that this is a travel essay book - I did at first. But a little way into it I realized it's not that at all. Well maybe a little bit. What I enjoyed most about the book was experiencing the couple's relationship. They seem to use their relationship and a trip to Greece as a path to enlightenment - and the honesty and straightforwardness of their conversations are, I think, what's missing in a lot of relationships - not just marriages. I found their willingness to say whatever to each other and really listen and "get" each other very refreshing. The result is a tenderness and freedom not easily found these days - whether you're talking about a relationship of 2 people or 2 nations - we could really use more of this kind of communication on the planet. I was at the west coast book launch in Seattle - at a cool Pioneer Square art gallery called ArtXchange. According to the author this is the first book in a series. She has plans to use her relationship with her husband to explore transformation, synchronicity, and manisfestation. Hey, I'm all ears - and eyes (which will be watching for the next book).
