The Conde Nast Traveler Book of Unforgettable Journeys
The Conde Nast Traveler Book of Unforgettable Journeys is a collection of travel essays from the magazine. I don’t think I’d like this magazine. Although some of the places are interesting, and some of the writing was approachable, the overall style seems to be to cram as many facts, names, dates, and titles into each sentence. Sort of like this:
The arch, 112 feet at its apex and made of grey granite harvested from the coal mines of Goldospato, Austria, was constructed in January 1942, at the height of World War II and before General Schwartkopf was born, to commemorate the fall of Napolean, who is pictured wearing the regional coat of arms common to all first born sons of potatoe farmers during the Crimean War when termites overcame the elephants by eating their feed, much as they did in Atilla’s day.
Or something.
