travelling by reading

I know when it started. I was waiting for the flight at Dublin's airport and as usual went to the bookshop to check for some book to read while on the airplane. The first book that got into my hands was the one about travelling around Ireland by Pete McCarthy "McCarthy's Bar: A Journey of Discovery in Ireland"and I read it with a great pleasure. I didn't realize at that time that something remained in my heart, something warm and jumpy every time I thought about some other travels.
And then I went to Africa. And then I came back. And now I'm just about to finish another travel book by Paul Theroux "Dark Star Safari" and as you can imagine it's about Africa. I don't know where it will end - but I'm keen on buying another travel book.
