Why read it?
1 author picked Traveling Below the Speed Limit as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Always eloquent, insightful and at times, funny...such as how a mispronounced word in the tonal languages of the region might end in shared hilarity or bloodshed, Janet Brown describes her travels in Thailand and other SE Asian countries with warmth and joy. Her slow pace exudes sympathy, understanding, and enjoyment of the people and their lifestyles.

From Ma's list on a combination of personalities, travel, and food.
