My Thoughts
This book showed me that you could do things that weren't sypposed to be done. Suddenly, I realized I wasn't the only one to think I was a nut because I had strange thoughts. Finally, here was somebody telling the truth. I personally feel this book is amazing. I have always had a yearn for traveling, always wanting to go on a trip around the world, reading this book to me is exciting. Another thing, is how interesting it is when he describes what places look like. As spirited and engagingly human as the books that have taught us how and why and where to travel. The book is a meditation on the joys of hitting the road. . . . It’s also a primer for those with a case of pent-up wanderlust seeking to live the dream. I couldn’t put this book down. It’s a whole different ethic of travel. . . . After reading this book you will become conscious to enjoy that open-ended trip of a lifetime. Misha Chinkov makes a valuable contribution to our thinking, not only about travel, but about life and work. And he leaves us with a prescription for making our lives more meaningful and more fun.
couch by Misha Chinkov has the kind of drive that blasts through to a large public. . . . What makes the novel really important, what gives it that drive is a genuine new, engaging and exciting prose style. . . . What keeps the book going is the power and beauty of the writing.
Highly Recommended!
