6. Daniel Kalder "Lost Cosmonaut"
I picked up this travel based memoir at the 2007 Reader Book Swap. I started the book in the spring of 2007. It didn't do much for me.
Last week I ran out of books I brought to my mother's. I tried again with "Lost Cosmonaut." This time I was in the right state of mind.
Mr. Kalder's first book is not upbeat. It's not negative per se, but don't expect many fun tales from wacky locales. The author visits four Russian republics, four grey places where nothing much happens and no one escapes. Sounds boring. It's not. Each section is better than the last and by the time you read "My travels were finished." you wish they weren't.
