Publisher Description
A collection of hilarious and compelling insights and anecdotes, diary entries, poems, 'true' facts and cartoons on travel from The Rick Gervais Show’s unlikely star, Karl Pilkington.
This is the travel book for people who don't particularly like travelling. It’s Pilkington with a suitcase, occasionally with his passport, more often with a bemused suspicion of anything vaguely exotic, and always with an observant eye for the disappointments, tedium, and general absurdity of being a tourist abroad and at home. From staring at Mount Vesuvius in case it erupts, to enduring the horrors of a Lanzarote nudist beach, to exploring the curiosities to be seen in the world's weirdest museum, Pilkington’s stories are told with his inimitable deadpan humor. And they’re always interspersed with fond reflections on life back in England, from Salford joy riders to what his girlfriend's mum and dad have for dinner on a Thursday (it's chops and veg, in case you're wondering).

I think it's nice that they let autistic people publish books now even if their heads look like oranges. I strongly recommend buying this book but I'm too embarrassed to use my real name.
The funniest book I've ever read......
I laughed so hard I had an asthma attack. Really. First time in my life I had an asthma attack from laughing. Buying Karl's other book right now. I guess I will be reading it with my inhaler close by this time.
