I'm not generally the type of person who is inclined to break out the highlighters while reading, or circle favorite passage to revisit of quote at a later time, but this book screamed for me to do that, so I gave in. Part retrospective, part exploration of the vast and varied world of travel writing, the Tao of Travel attempts to distill the essence of travel (or more importantly the essence of good travel writing) down in a single tidy volume. It's an ambitious task, and while I'm not sure The...more

When I learned that Paul Theroux, one of my favorite travel writers, had written the Tao of Travel I rushed to get a copy. At first I was disappointed that Theroux would waste his considerable talent on a compilation of other travel writers of note. But, as I got into his very personal critiques and reflections on the greats like Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry David Thoreau, Sir Richard Burton and Joseph Conrad I looked forward to eaves dropping on the “long conversation” about travel writers.

Some chapters are of more interest than others, but there's nothing to stop readers from picking and choosing. For me, some of the most entertaining topics were found near the end of the book.

Some favorite quotations from the book:

In conversation with Paul Theroux, Pico Iyer said this is what he brings when travelling:

"The most important thing always to have with me in my case is a book: no companion is likely to be richer, stranger, more alive and more eager to be intimate. Pens and notebooks, of course. Pieces of America to give away. A Lonely Planet guide to get angry with and bitterly repudiate. More novels and biographies for eight-hour waits.

"I think I spend more time thinking about what I don't want to take with me: assumptions, iPods, cameras, plans, friends (in most cases), laptops, headphones, suntan lotion, resumes, expectations." (page 84)

Another quote from Iyer, from "Why we Travel, Salon, 2000:

"For if every true love affair can feel like a journey to a foreign country, where you can't quite speak the language, and you don't know where you're going, and you're pulled ever deeper into the inviting darkness, every trip to a foreign country can be a love affair, where you're left puzzling over who you are and whom you've fallen in love with...All good trips are, like love, about being carried out of yourself and deposited in the midst of terror and wonder." (page 17)

From Paul Bowles, in "Their Heads are Green and Their Hands are Blue" (1963):

"Each time I go to a place I have not seen before, I hope it will be as different as possible from the places I already know. I assume it is natural for a traveler to seek diversity, and that it is the human element which makes him most aware of difference. If people and their manner of living were alike everywhere, there would not be much point in moving from one place to another." (page 260)

Theroux includes some entertaining lists, including place names that sound great but are really dreary spots. Keeping company with the Orkney Islands, Thailand, Costa Rica, and Hawaii on his list of "happy places" is our home state of Maine. His shout-out to us: "I think of the coast of Maine as coherent, lovely, well assembled by nature, populated by some of the most decent and reliable people I have ever known. (page 268)

I have a confession to make – the reason why I wanted to read The Tao Of Travel was simply because I love traveling and I love writing. To find these two themes in one book lured me in and admittedly I started reading with a slightly more critical eye than I usually do.

The world’s greatest living travel writer does it again. But this isn’t like any of Paul Theroux’s other books. Rather than take you on a journey to the world’s forgotten corners, he’s taking you on a trip through travel literature.

The book examines travel through many different lenses, and through the eyes of some of the greatest literary travelers in the genre. Well chosen excerpts explore themes like travel by railway, travel as ordeal, imaginary travel, bizarre foods, and the fears and neuro...more

I am forever envious of travelers, many of whose journeys serve as a purpose in itself.

It’s all cleverly arranged into a variety of chapter topics dreamed up by Mr. Theroux, such as “The Things They Carried,” “Travelers Who Never Went Alone,” “Perverse Pleasures of the Inhospitable,” and “Evocative Name, Disappointing Place.” It must have been quite an organizational undertaking, and yet it seems to be just enough, all bound up in what looks like a large Moleskine notebook—itself ready to travel. The effect is like a marvelous cocktail party, full of some of the world’s most interesting people and Mr. Theroux is making the introductions--if he’s done his work well, you’ll find someone you want to go home with, or at least get to know better. I certainly did. I got my second introduction this year to Freya Stark, and some completely gonzo passages by Redmond O’Hanlon in the “Everything is Edible Somewhere” section had me hooked. There are few things better than a book that makes you want to read more books.

It’s also a goldmine of travel-related quotes, from authors who don’t mess around:

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on those accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”

--Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad (1869)

“You are simply not lonely enough when you travel with companions. Spells of loneliness are an essential part of travel. Loneliness makes things happen.”

--Jonathan Raban, Driving Home (2010)

But possibly my favorite bits were Theroux’s own wry, biographical comments on some of the authors—Thoreau, for instance:

“And then there is Walden, the last word in solitude. Or is it all theoretical? Thoreau’s cabin was only a mile and a half from his house in Concord, where his adoring mother waited, baking pies for him and doing his laundry; and throughout the Walden experience he went home most days.”

There’s an awful lot to like in these 272 leather-bound pages. If you tend to wander, as I do, you’ll find yourself in very good company.

Some of this was interesting to me; a lot of it was not. My favorite chapters were the ones with short encylopedia-type entries or short book reviews. My least favorite parts were the chapters full of short excerpts from travel books (by Theroux and others). I almost always find short excerpts from books annoying. I skipped right over the excerpts from Theroux's own books, because a) I've already read those books (every single one of them), and b) Theroux as a travel writer is at his very most u...more

Rebecca West on the divided self, "'Only part of us is sane: only part of us loves pleasure and the longer day of happiness, wants to live to our nineties and die in peace, in a house that we built, that shall shelter those who come after us. The other half is nearly mad. It prefers the disagreeable to the agreeable, loves pain and its darker night despair, and wants to die in a catastrophe that will set back life to its beginnings and leave nothing of our house save its blackened foundations. Our bright natures fight in us with this yeasty darkness, and neither part is commonly quite victorious, for we are divided against ourselves and will not let either part be destroyed. This fight can be observed constantly in our personal lives. There is nothing rarer than a man who can be trusted never to throw away happiness, however eagerly he sometimes grasps it. In history we are frequently interested in our own doom... We ignore this suicidal strain in history because we are consistently bad artists when we paint ourselves, when we prettify our wills and pretend they are not parti-colored before the Lord."

"'In traveling; a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge.'
- Samuel Johnson, in James Boswell, Life of Johnson.

"Pico Iyer: A Book: 'The most important thing always to have with me in my case is a book: no companion is likely to be richer, stranger, more alive and eager to be intimate.'"

"'Men who go looking for the source of a river are merely looking for the source of something missing in themselves, and never finding it,' Sir Richard Burton..."

"'Some will tell you that you are mad, and nearly all will say, "What's the use?" For we are a nation of shopkeepers, and no shopkeeper will look at research which does not promise him a financial return within a year. And so you will sledge nearly alone, but those with whom you sledge will not be shopkeepers: that is worth a good deal. If you march your Winter Journeys you will have your reward, so long as all you want is a penguin's egg.'" - Apsley Cherry-Garrard.

P.124: A list of countries and languages and their words for stranger.

"Some walks are those of the flaneur, an almost untranslatable French word meaning stroller, saunterer, drifter -- the essence of a traveler -- but in this case usually one in a city, perhaps the very word to describe someone trying to solve a problem."

"One of the oddities of Wordsworth as a lover of flowers and fresh air is that (so everyone who knew him testified) he had no sense of smell."

"... I pressed d'Aboville on his reasons for making this dangerous voyage. He became silent. After a long while he said, 'Only an animal does useful things. An animal gets food, finds a place to sleep, tries to keep comfortable. But I wanted to do something that was not useful -- not like an animal at all. Something only a human being would do.'"

"Travel in your head, Thoreau preached in Walden: 'Be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade but of thought.' He went on to say that it is 'easier to sail many thousand miles through cold and storm and cannibals... than it is to explore the private sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean of one's being alone.'"(less)

This was not your typical travel book, or Theroux book. Rather than a work on travelling through space, this was about travelling through time and space in the company of interesting travellers from the past. It made me think about how I travel, who I travel with, and why I travel at all. It is a philosophical look at travel in that it seems to involve a lot of thinking about travelling.

Each chapter covers a theme of traveling such as using trains, traveling alone, items a traveler must have and strange foods travelers have encountered around the world. Those writers quoted in the book include many I've heard of and many I haven't. And truthfully, I hadn't yet come across Theroux in my reading, so I like that by reading this I was exposed to people I'd never heard of before. A couple of them will make it on my "to read" list.

I love to travel and I love to read, so when I love when I can combine the two either by reading while I'm traveling or reading about traveling while I'm at home waiting for my next trip. That's why this book caught my eye.

I am surprised fairly often with what I read. A book turns out to be not quite what I expected, and many times that works out in my favor. I learn something I wouldn't have known otherwise, or enjoy the book than I thought I might. Sadly, that's not the case with The Tao of Travel. I wanted to know about Theroux's travels. That's why I picked up the book. I wasn't so much interested in hundreds of pages of quotes from other writers, which is what I got. The variety of experiences included in this book are vast, but reading quote after quote after quote was nearly enough to make me abandon this book before I'd even finished the first chapter. I pressed ahead because I thought surely the rest of the book wouldn't be the same way. Well, it was. There are 27 chapters in the book and finally, finally, finally in Chapter 26 I got to what I'd been hoping for all along. Theroux had five short episodes of interesting events/people/places he'd encountered over the years during his travels. Each of the five gave him cause to reflect and it changed his perspective on that trip as a whole. It was great stuff. Then, in the final chapter, he gives readers a list of 10 pieces of advice on traveling. I also liked that very much. Unfortunately, the two chapters at the end, though I liked them, weren't enough to make me like the whole book.

However, I am curious enough about Theroux now to read some of this other books where he relates only his own experiences. And, I like writers who are willing to share advice with other aspiring writers, like he did in the last chapter. On that note, I found a YouTube video of the author that I really like where he does just that. So while I don't necessary recommend The Tao of Travel, I am interested to read more of what this writer has written. Are you familiar with him? What are his other books like? (less)

Traveller and travel writer Paul Theroux published The Tao of Travel in as less of a traditional travel book and more of a discourse on writing about travel and about the concept of travel itself. I did not expect this book to be a collection of quotations on the misery, loneliness, and joys of travel – really, on the paradox that travel necessarily brings to a traveller given the variety of sights in the world and people seeing the sights.

Paul Theroux is an old man, obsessed with his overly romanticised notion of what travel "should" be. This renders him out of touch with reality and severely constrained by a limited notion of the travel experience. The more he rabbits on about looking for paths less travelled and throwing away technology, the more his overwrought cliches begin to grate. If you want a dull 300+ page lecture from your grandfather on his heady days travelling in the exotic Orient, read this book.

A wonderful collection of travel pieces and excerpts by good writers, including Theroux himself, organized into thematic chapters, such as "The Pleasures of Railways," "Fears, Neuroses and Other Conditions," "Travel Wisdom of Evelyn Waugh," and "Everything is Edible Somewhere." Great for taking on the road--fake leather binding with elastic bookmark, attractive for cats that chew such. Definitely a book you can read in short or long bursts, while something else is not happening.

Paul Theroux is a wonderful travel writer, and for him to write a book on the philosophy - the path, or way, or doctrine - of travelers and travel writers through the ages made me immediately order it. It was good, and I enjoyed most of it. However, the book was mostly quotes from many other travel writers rather than Theroux's work. I missed his sense of humor, the main reason I loved all his previous travel books.

I believe that the most over stated phrase in our society is, "I love to travel." You may have gone to Cancun on your spring break or you might have booked a four star hotel in Venice--but very few people have took in the depth that travel brings to your soul. Paul Theroux has experienced the convictions of travel, unlike most.
