#69743 - 08/13/06 01:52 PM Book - Errant in Iberia
filbert Executive Member Registered: 09/06/03 Posts: 399 Loc: London	Has anyone read this book by Ben Curtis? Worth reading? Quote: Synopsis This book covers my first three years in Spain, from my reasons for escaping the UK, to how I met Marina (and a few other 'intercambios' along the way) and the first journeys to unknown corners of the country. Discover wild fiestas, strange confrontations with Spanish culture and family life, the renovation of a decrepit flat in Madrid's old quarter, and an intimate portrait of Lavapies, a traditional inner city 'Barrio'. I only hope that MadridMan serialises his own book (when? if?) on this site.... _________________________ An English Bookseller in Madrid

I'll definitely keep an eye out for it. _________________________ "I swear -by my life and my love of it -that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."

I knew of your countryman's book but haven't read it. Seems everyone's writing their own book these days. Maybe I'll take filbert's advise and write one chronicling the life and times of MadridMan. I'll do it in my SPARE time, that is. (spare time?) Saludos, MadridMan _________________________ Visit BarcelonaMan.com for Barcelona information, Transportation, Lodging, & much MUCH more!

He seems like a very nice guy and found his niche in Spain - like many of us. I have read quite a few of this genre - I agree we need an American transplant to Spain book - MM I think youve been nominated! _________________________ www.CasaBerja.com
