    Forum Book Club - 2.2: Northbound (Paul McGranaghan)

    "Better late than never," they say. It's easy to lose track of time and date while on Camino. Apparently, even a virtual one. But here it is, a thread to discuss Northbound: 30 days on the Camino Portugues (and onwards to Finisterre) by Paul McGranaghan. The book is available as an e-book (I...

    Forum book club - Planning and book selection for Round 2

    We are currently discussing the 4th book in our first round of the Book Club - The Great Westward Walk. I'm still reading it (but for the second time) and I expect others of you are, too. Maybe we've tried to keep up too fast a pace, but there's no reason you have to keep up. The comment threads...

    Forum Book Club - 1.4 - The Great Westward Walk (Antxon González Gabarain)

    The Great Westward Walk, by Antxon González Gabarain ("Bolitx") is a camino memoir that is different - in a number of good ways. It was published in Spanish in 2012, as El Gran Caminante, and was subsequently translated to English by our forum member @Rebekah Scott. I haven't read the book in...

    Forum Book Club - 1.1 - The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago (Gitlitz and Davidson)

    Since it will take a bit of time to select a book by voting (here) and then give people some time to get that book and start reading, let's start a thread with a book that is recognized as a classic Camino source. It is a book that most people seem to use as a reference, rather than reading...
