For years, I meant to read 'Arabian Sands', Wilfred Thesiger's account of two punishing camel journeys during the late 1940s across Southern Arabia's Empty Quarter. Now that I have, I can sheepishly join the chorus of those who revere the book as one of the half dozen greatest works of modern English travel writing.

I really don't care for the proper chef coat...Mellow doesn't always make for a good story...The thing about it is, all those races we lost...It makes little difference how many university...Always give a word or sign of salute...Estate planning is an important and everlasting gift...
