Thanks. I’ve looked at many of these but most readers focus upon the more spiritual/personal literature and lore, which is of less interest to me.Try The Great Westward Walk.
There are several good threads in this Books section of the forum, about Camino books. @David Tallan keeps an excellent bibliography in the Resources section, that you can download here.
Two Camino books I felt were well written and I enjoyed were The Way of the Gardener, and Into the Thin - very different types of books. One I did get out of our public library - both quite recent. Both set on the CF. Thanks for posting this thread - as interested to perhaps find another good read! I will be walking the Camino Francis starting in Sept! J
I live in Galicia and several friends and I have started a Book Club. The Santiago de Compostela Book Club. We make nothing but we wanted to create community amongst Pilgrims who like to read and would like to meet the authors behind the books and discuss them. If you want to join let me know and I'll send you the link. We will meet for two meetings on August 5th to accommodate members from Seattle to Auckland New Zealand. It should be fun and you'll read across genres and styles.I’m an avid reader of travel literature and would like to hear your specific recommendations about Camino travelogues, particularly the CF.
My own reading tastes lean towards the travel, geography, adventure elements as opposed to personal or spiritual transformations (I’m referring to reading material here- not my own motivations for doing the Camino). Paul Theroux’s travel writings would serve as a model.
Of course, I also hope the author is competent- not a given with so much self-publishing at hand these days. Recent accounts are also preferable.
Your suggestions?
