Not Tonight, Josephine: A Road Trip Through Small-Town America by George Mahood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wonderful humourous travelogue from the inimitable tongue in cheek writing of George Mahood.
A great memorable road trip across America in a jalopy. It starts with George and his friend, who incidentally has to return halfway back to England due to visa issues, replaced by George's girlfriend Rachel who joins him in this amazing adventure of a lifetime.
In this travelogue George gives an insight into the culture and lifestyle of Americans in the cities as well as in the rural areas.
A must read for all roadies and all travel enthusisasts. Will keep you entertained from the beginning to the end.

Free Country: A Penniless Adventure the Length of Britain by George Mahood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After P.G. Wodehouse, George Mahood.
George Mahood's humour is typically British and his writing keeps you in splits all the time, hence if you are reading this book in a public place, be sure to see some raised eyebrows around you as you guffaw!
This book is about his 'Penniless Adventure the Length of Britain' wherein he writes about cycling from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland without spending a penny, along with a friend. They depended on the goodness and generosity of the people on the way for everything (clothes, food, shelter and even cycles). As a matter of fact, they started out wearing just a mere pair of Union Jack boxer shorts!
The hilarious experiences en-route, rather he makes them so, when he relates them, are fun to read.
This book has the capacity to brighten up the gloomiest day.
By the way there is a town called Patna in Scotland! Ha! Imagining our very own Laloo Prasad Yadav gallivanting there!
Go guys! Buy this book! Give it a read and treat yourself to some real good belly laughs!
