Received from a fellow Edinburgh Freecycler who was happy for me to BookCross a few of his books. From the Bk Jk: ‘If you have ever woken up and wonderedwhere you are of what you are doing there, then you may get you bearings in Iyer’s provocative musings’. From Amazon: Pico Iyer's book of essays about international locales contends that the modern world-scurrying citizen, pushed by business demands or political migrations, can easily lose both roots and sense of home. Airports have morphed into cities where scores of languages are spoken, thousands work, and millions travel through mazed villages of McDonalds, massage parlors, and self-help groups that twist along for miles; the Dallas-Fort Worth airport alone grabs more space than Manhattan. And city life is no different: Iyer's apartment building also houses an immigration office, banks, four cinemas, dozens of restaurants and nearly 100 boutiques; the technologically plugged-in businessman with whom he stays has five phones across the world, a dozen international bank accounts, and travels more than a pilot.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

This looks like a good book, but a corner of my ceilings fallen in and I have to clear access space fast, therefore I am letting this book go. Maybe one day another copy will cross my path, so then if it still grabs my attention I’ll have another opportunity to read it.

I plan ‘wild releasing’ this book at as soon as possible, somewhere in Edinburgh.
