This Book is Currently in the Wild!

I am only a third of the way through this book, but so far it has been a very enjoyable read. It is light and humorous, sometimes making you laugh out loud.
I bought this book as I had just hitched to Ireland for charity and thought it was quite appropriate!

It's been a year since I bought this, and now I associate the hitching experience with a relationship which flourished as a result of it and is now dead, so I am very happy to part with this book.
to be traded with BookCrosser for Middlesex! Yay!

Thank you, torksoul, for sending me the book. I want to go to Ireland for a cycling holiday, perhaps this summer. I have never been to Ireland, I enjoy reading books set in Ireland or about travelling in Ireland.
Very pleasant book about a hitchhiking trip in Ireland. And about the fridge that came for the ride... Told with a some humour.

The book reached me today from Bookcrosser as RABCK.
That's a first for me. Thank you very much! I can't wait to start reading.

A really cute story about a man and his fridge. I liked it and laughed quite a bit. It made me wanna go to Ireland again (not necessarily with a fridge, though).
And because I got it as a RABCK (thanks again BookCrosser!), it goes out just the same way. It is on its way to Lisa-B. I hope you have fun with it!

Thanks so much to all of you for forwarding this book on and on, and especially to samulli for finding it on my wishlist!
A nice and funny read. I like the "fridge philosphy" that you should not worry too much about what is going to happen, be happy about what works out, and filing what does not work out under "experiences".
I am continuing the tradition and RABCKing Round Ireland With A Fridge to mojitopt in Hamburg, who has it on his wish list. I hope you'll enjoy it too!
Found this book in my postbox upon my return from a business trip. Thanks to Lisa-B for sending this. I will be in Dublin in October so reading this might be a good preparation ...
It was big fun to read this book. I really enjoyed his "well, let's see what happens" attitude and the description of his adventures on his way round the isle. Once again was I remembered that British English is so versatile and ideally suited for humour. Hawks surely is a Master using it ...

borrowed the book to a friend who read it and enjoyed it, but unfortunately didn't become a bookcrosser. It is back in my hands now...

Ha! Caught it at the meetup - three of us were interested so I will pass it on.
I had some strange travelling companions - but up to now never anything remotely like a fridge.
I´m looking forward to this one.

Not just entertaining but also deeply instructive:
> There are more royal families than we know about and they are not that fussy about etiquette - apples are dealt out as royal favours.
> Irish pubs - a very good example of a market in the grip of seller´s competition.
> Liechtenstein doesn´t count among the world´s big soccer nations.
> Dog houses can be very cosy - with the right kind of illumination.
But one big question remains:
What happened to the widely travelled fridge?
From Tony Hawks website:
"It is in my front room on a plinth, much like a piece of sculpture. It has never been plugged in. It’s not that kind of fridge."
The poor thing must be bored out of its circuits...

The fridge finally found the way to Bremen ;-)
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
I really liked this book - yes, the fridge-philosophy is what it is all about... ;-)
Light hearted reading about a totally senseless idea - but a damn fine one!
For some reason though it does not really inspire me to go traveling to Ireland, I just dont't know... ;-)
Will release it soon to someone who expresses interest one way or the other...
Thanks a lot to everyone for making it possible for the fridge to travel my way!
