I’ve just begun another promising looking book; Wanderlust by Rebecca Solnit, ‘a history of walking’. Its intention is to trace something of the history of walking, its connection with meditation and creativity, its role with such authors as Aristotle, Rousseau, Thoreau, Baudelaire,  Wordsworth and Coleridge and ‘to create a portrait of the range of possibilities for this most basic act.’  Published by Penguin in Australia.
