This charming book tells about the journey of two friends, an author and a painter, who met at a farm one summer while the author was on a retreat from the hustle and bustle of his life in New York City. At the end of the summer, they decided that in order to delay their inevitable return to civilization, they would walk the 430 miles back to New York City.It is a beautifully written little book, with many observations that can only be made while on foot. They notice names on mailboxes and wonde...
Sweet little travelogue by a romantic poet and his friend. Richard is staying at a hermitage over the summer when one day he meets Colin, a French artist. Summer is ending, and the two hatch up a bit of a mad plan; rather than take the train back to New York City, why not walk it? So begins their journey.You're probably going to either enjoy it, or find it insufferably fey. Richard is very much a romantic in spirit, and is someone who can find delight in everything. He's a book lover who carries...

I have read this book every October since I discovered it as a free ebook download years ago. Gallienne's since become one of my favorite authors: unheard of, yet hopelessly Romantic and idealistic. The whole book proves this guy's a cheeseball, but it's gorgeous and hilarious at the same time. Essentially the book follows a bromance between the narrator (Le Gallienne as a written poet) and his painter friend Colin. These two guys just go around and muse upon random things like apple orchards an...
This was a short and sweet read. It takes you on a journey from Buffalo to NYC. The author describes the people he meets and the nature he observes. It is quite obvious from this book that the author is a poet at heart, and quite a few poems are mixed into his prose. It is not the best story I've ever read and there are no underlying plots: just a simple documentation of one authors journey as he travels part way across the country. It's short and it's free. Definately worth downloading to join
Another early book for kindle that I forgot about until now. It's a short read, a very poetic little travelogue about a man and his friend who decide to walk back to New York City from upstate, where they have been spending the summer. The year is 1908. It's something that you'll either enjoy or find insufferable.
Free kindle book that I downloaded because the title sounded interesting. The author and his friend Colin must vacate their summer cottage and decide to walk back to New York instead of taking the train. Not much occurs, but there are some truly lovely descriptions of the landscapes they encounter on their walking tour.
Another free Kindle book that I read while in Tucson. I will write a review after I enter all the books I read while in Tucson.
