Craig Robinson is "an English future ex-smoker, currently living in Berlin."
When I saw that Rebecca Armstrong of the
Independent placed
Robinson's Atlas Schmatlas atop her list of the ten best atlases, I got in touch and asked him what he was reading. His reply:
I'm rather embarrassed to say that over the past six months that I've spent travelling around the Americas, I've not finished a single book. I've started reading several, but I've got sidetracked, not picked the books up again, and ended up dumping them along the way. I started a PG Wodehouse book, Moby-Dick, Huckleberry Finn, Oil!, a Paul Auster book that I forget the name of, and The Shroud of the Thwacker by Chris Elliott. I still hold out hopes for the Auster and Elliott books to end up being read completely, but the others I'll have to re-acquire and give another go at some point. It seems strange, though, because everyone tells you to take a couple of good books when you're
travelling, but reading has kinda been the last thing on my mind while I've been doing it. I sit on buses and trains and planes, and I'm just happy to look out of the window for the most part.
