Tim Cahill's additions to the World Hum Top 30

Back in May, World Hum's Top 30 Travel Books of all time included Tim Cahill's Road Fever, which occupied the #21 slot in the countdown. Since I know Cahill from the Key West Literary Seminar, and also from my online interview of him in 2004, I emailed him to see what he thought might be missing from the Top 30.

This is what Tim told me:

Very subjective about the books, but Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire was my personal inspiration. Also:

• The Worst Journey in the World, by Apsley Cherry-Garrard

• News From Tartary, by Peter Fleming

• Annapurna, by Maurice Herzog

And several dozen more that we'd have to force ourselves to drink many beers in order to recall (while remaining completely sheveled, of course.)
