Recently read Monkey Dancing by Dan Glick - - had my teenager read it for school and now my adult kids are reading it - - a great book.

Dan Glick lost his wife (to another woman) and became a single father. Left his job as a reporter because it would be hard to leave his kids and go chasing a story. His brother died (of breast cancer) and Dan was in a bad place.

So what does he do?

He pulls his kids out of school and takes them on a trip - literally around the world.

From Australia to VietNam to Amsterdam... he talks about the land, the people, and his own insights on what he and his kids are going through.

A totally entertaining read - - a book I would recommend.

I know this thread is ancient, I'm new and catching up!
Just wondered if anyone else has read this book, it sounds fun, but so do a lot of other travelogues and IMHO they usually dry up half way through and become repetitive.
