Another Paul Theroux book

The tao of Travel

Donn Fendler
Dervla Murphy

In old Patagonia express, Theroux says that there is nothing shocking about leaving home, but rather a slow feeling of gathering sadness as each familiar place flashes by the window, and disappears, and becomes part of the past.
I havent felt this feeling much while doing the trips from school to home and back after each semester. But as the train approaches home, I cant contain myself.
Freya Stark
