The wish to disappear sends many travelers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge for having been put on hold, having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party's extension, being kept waiting all your working life.

In many ways "connection" has been disastrous. We have confused information (of which there is too much) with ideas (of which there are too few). I found out much more about the world and myself by being unconnected.

#TodayILearned that several years ago, there was a brand-new adaptation of #PaulTheroux's harrowing 1981 novel #TheMosquitoCoast, which came and went without me ever hearing even once about its existence (apparently for good reason -- in an attempt to squeeze as much running time out of the novel as possible, the entirety of Season 1 is a prequel that takes place in California, before actually reaching the Mosquito Coast itself where the novel takes place). https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/mosquito-coast-review-justin-theroux-1161368/

A Serious and Omnivorous Reader
“I think most serious and omnivorous readers are alike- intense in their dedication to the word, quiet-minded, but relieved and eagerly talkative when they meet other readers and kindred spirits.” ― Paul Theroux, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: On the Tracks of the Great Railway Bazaar

The thing is, there are only so many books we can read in a lifetime. It's inherently limited, because we are.
