Walking Home from Mongolia: Ten Million Steps Through China from the Gobi Desert to the South China Sea

Rob Lilwall
Dewi πŸΉπŸ•―Dewi πŸΉπŸ•―

@MjBaines Walking Home From Mongolia by Rob Lilwall is quite fun, and I'm currently reading The Marches by Rory Stewart, which is super interesting. Rory is a Scottish ex-Tory and it's about him walking around the border between England and Scotland with his elderly dad, lots of comments -

Yesterday I bought Publilius Syrus's moral quotes and Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack, and I'm going to look for crossovers - if a piece of life advice has remained the same for, like 1,800 years, I assume there's at least some merit in pondering it πŸ˜‚
