The Great Railway Bazaar Train through Asia by Paul theroux
Books with maps have never disappointed me.
His encounters with some kind of people seem to be so skewed. He has a very good style of making any kind of conversations fit into the book. A town that I was in had its train station at one end. If it can be generalized then his travel is only through the edges of towns meeting certain kinds of people and those experiences wont be a good sample of the whole.
In a para, he sums up how trains in different countries are different with different amenities.
I wasnt prepared for his experiences in Japan.
