Short book I thought I would get through fast. It's only 120 pages. Months and months later I have still got 50 pages left. I just can't get myself to finish this one. It's not bad. It's just OK I guess... It's light to carry around, so I keep it in my backpack and read when I am stuck in a waiting room and find myself with absolutely nothing better to do.

You would probably find the book a less boring read if you were a mountain climber, familiar with the Swiss and Austrian Alps. If you spent some time in the area and like to reminisce, you would probably like to get a copy of this.

I bought it for it turned up in search results for a book on the topic "friendship" "nature" etc. and having read the brief description of Together, I thought this would be a perfect read. I still don't know how exactly does this book relate to the topic of friendship. Nature? Yes. But there is no coherent plot, just author's memories of his younger days.

Short account by travel writer Norman Douglas, of a summer spent in the Voralberg region of Austria, just a few years after the First World War. Full of reminiscence and pithy description of a rural way of life, probably long gone, together with reflections on family and local character. Some detailed descriptions of mountain climbs and forests and digressions into place names and local language and dialect. Some decidedly old fashioned opinions occasionally rise to the surface; very much a period piece.

Superb, as expected.
