Something of his Art: Walking to Lubeck with J. S. Bach by Horatio Clare
4.0
This is a short little book -- I think I read it in five or six hours.
Mr. Clare really nails what it feels like to be young and ambitious and why road trips (which, back in Bach's day, were made on foot) are so appealing. In this age, where people completely freak out if they're separated from their cell phones for two hours, the idea of walking away from your job/friends/family for four months and telling them you'll see them when you get back in the indeterminate future is indeed exciting.
I learned quite a bit about Bach, too. I imagine those people familiar with his works, many of which are cited throughout the text, would enjoy this book even more.
