Paul Theroux- my other life

This is a very interesting mix of fiction and non-fiction, kinda like a half-made up memoir. Reading this book makes me feel that my life is largely unlived! Theroux as Theroux in the book lived in several countries, starting from a volunteering trip to Uganda, then a teaching job in Singapore, to London as a book reviewer and writer, and finally back to the US, his home.

Although I wouldn't really say his life was full of adventures but it was interesting enough to make me wish I could live that.
