Journal Entry 1 by Forager from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire United Kingdom on Saturday, October 28, 2006
A very humourous account of how the author took on the challenge of riding the Tour de France before the professionals and what he learned about himself on the way. I don't always like it when a writer's chief tool is self-deprecation but Moore manages to pull it off with Bryson-esque aplomb.

Journal Entry 3 by Forager from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire United Kingdom on Thursday, February 15, 2007
Still there when I went in to release The Works of William Shakespeare and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Maybe it will go when the tourist season kicks off again.

Journal Entry 4 by Prosopopeia on Saturday, April 21, 2007
Still on Exeter YHA's bookshelves when I swapped it for a book I'd brought with me and finished.

I really enjoyed this. Whilst some of the themes, such as getting lost and bad French customer service, become a little repetitive, the book is entirely redeemed by the author's good humour - in parts it's very funny indeed.

I will release this some time in the next week or so. I will probably deviate from my past approach of (generally) releasing books on trains because no-one ever seems to register their captures (London commuters are a grumpy bunch!). I'll have to think of an alternative location...
