It's nothing to do with paddling, despite the name, but if you love journeying, you'll love the book.
Al Humphreys is an "adventurer and writer" and very good at both. I first came across him when I read his stories of cycling round the world. This included taking on Siberia in the winter.
This book is the story of a walk across India, but it isn't a travelogue, and he doesn't even say where he was. It's short, easily read in a couple of evenings. It's all about why we love journeys, despite the all too frequent discomfort. I loved it.
