It's all here: Adventures in Africa, Azerbaijan and the Arctic.
Headhunters and prayer flags, liars and thieves, evil spirits and
atrocious food. From Tbilisi to Tibet to the Trans-Siberian
Railroad, "Common Sense and Whiskey" is a crisp survey of what's
it's like in the real world. Offbeat people and isolated places lie
at this book's heart. "Common Sense and Whiskey" pokes into the
back corners of our planet. It takes us into the unknown and
describes what the unknown looks like.
"You can handle just about anything out on the road with a
believable grin, common sense and whiskey." That's been the
author's theory, anyway, for 25 years of international travel. So
far, so good. And now, "Common Sense and Whiskey" distills (no pun
there, certainly) the most memorable experiences of a lifetime of
travel to some of the world's least visited places.
Fifteen stories from Bhutan, Borneo, Burma, Greenland, Guangxi,
Lake Baikal, Madagascar, Malawi, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay,
Chilean Patagonia, the Southern Caucasus, the Trans-Siberian
Railroad, Sri Lanka and Tibet.
For travelers - experienced, aspiring and armchair alike, "Common
Sense and Whiskey" is something to sip slowly and savor. Perceptive
travel tales, masterfully told.
"You leave home with a blank page. You return with stories of your
own to share. This is what Bill Murray does so well. Rich and
inspiring. Filled with surprises and great adventures."
- George Brown, President, Friendship Force International
"A good travel writer shows rather than tells and Bill shows us
beautifully with unassuming prose and evocative images. Brings home
the exoticism of foreign travel. A fantastic collection."
- Laurence Mitchell, author, the Bradt Guides to Serbia and
Kyrgyzstan
"Wonderful insight into the world of 'traveling off the beaten
path, road, waterway or train track.'"
- Josh Allen at AmateurTraveler.com
