Is a wonderful book.
I just finished it and it is going on my favourite books list.
It was entertaining from beginning to end and I laughed out loud at much of it.
The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.

The story switches between his current life and adventure, and his history.
I am smiling now just thinking about it again.
Let me know what you think.

I tried to find this at Chapters last weekend and they were out of stock. Glad you enjoyed it and now I want to read it even more.

Glad you are enjoying it.
I couldn't put it down, but didn't want it to end either - so I tried reading slowly
