I'm Off Then: Losing and Finding Myself on the Camino de Santiago - Hape Kerkeling
" Overweight, overworked, and disenchanted, Kerkeling was an unlikely candidate to make the arduous pilgrimage across the Pyrenees to the Spanish shrine of St. James, a 1,200-year-old journey undertaken by nearly 100,000 people every year. But he decided to get off the couch and do it anyway. Lonely and searching for meaning along the way, he began the journal that turned into this utterly frank, engaging book. Filled with unforgettable characters, historic landscapes, and Kerkeling's self-deprecating humor, I'm Off Then is an inspiring travelogue, a publishing phenomenon, and a spiritual journey unlike any other."
A 500 mile walk through northern Spain? It sounds fantastic!
Kerkeling is absolutely hilarious, and while there are a few translation mishaps (it was originally written in German), it is an absolutely WONDERFUL book!
