reading suggestions?

hey, get your hands on Llamas and Empanadas! it's a great book. A fellow TE gal wrote it about her personal adventures in South America! I thought it would be kind of boring, but it's not!!!
It's full of all sorts of pain, humor, surprises, and, well, bike riding. and why she did it.

It's not a book, but I've been keeping up with the journals and pictures of Dominic Gill, a young Brit who began his cycling adventure in June of last year in northern Alaska and is still on his way to Cape Horn. Last time I checked, he was in Ecuador. He's on a tandem, picking up stokers when he can. If I remember correctly, velogirl rode with him for awhile when he was in CA. Interesting reading, beautiful photos.

Yay! Lots of books....!! Thanks!

Tri Girl...I am just finishing Heft....I'm not crazy about HIM, but he has such a strong and natural, and often honest, voice that I followed him all across his adventures.
I teach English too; like Magnuson, I teach creative writing in a college..and I was interested in how his cycling and his teaching dove-tailed and obscured each other....I know the feeling!

Fragments and such don't bother me when they serve voice...

ALl these sound great. I might start with the ..Moth book. It sounds interesting, as does the book by Bill Strickland, the title of which escapes me at the moment...

Anything by Josie Dew is worth reading. You have to dig a little to find her books, but Amazon usually has a couple.
