However, given the fact it was written by an Englishman traveling in Ireland, there were many Lex- items that piqued our interest. The resulting book is a very fun and funny travelogue, firmly on the Explorers side of Lexplorers. Along the way he had many unexpected adventures and met many Irish characters (mostly in pubs, as one might expect in Ireland). Round Ireland With a Fridge is about, well, exactly what the title says: the author made a (drunken) bet with a friend that he could hitchhike around the entire circumference of Ireland, lugging a (small) refrigerator the entire time. First up is Round Ireland With a Fridge by Tony Hawks (the English comedian, not the skateboarder Tony Hawk). In the coming weeks we will be bringing you our reviews of a few of our favorite “What Were They Thinking? travel adventures”. But one clear cluster was books written by people who had a travel adventure that we would never even contemplate attempting. The Lexplorers summer reading list included a fairly diverse range of topics, from our usual linguistics and language learning, through recent bestsellers, as well as a little pure beach-reading fluff. Round Ireland With a Fridge by Tony Hawks Lexplorers rating: 7/10 average customer rating: 4.4/5
