  10. Paul Theroux, in TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, completely captivates the reader with frankly comical interludes, the best bit was called Tibet, being a very gripping account of a car journey with a male and a female Chinese duo, from northern China right through to Lhasa , Tibet`s capital. Mr Lu is driving a rickety , badly maintained car through deep snow in very low temperatures, and periodically Mr Lu cries out "I cannot go on!!!" and then Theroux takes the wheel with Mr Lu and the woman asleep in the back of the car. This Tibet chapter is so moving, you feel fear, joy, surprise, laughter, one after the other. His chapters on England , Wales and Ireland are hilarious, especially the passage from Cardigan, where an inebriated , obese, female guest at the guesthouse is found rifling through Theroux`s bags, at 5am, naked, by his bedside.
  11. Onion bhaji with curried chickpeas.
