All Aboard the Binks Train!

The elfin one opens his latest batch of aggregation with a shut out for the book The Pillars of Hercules by Paul Theroux. Binks says he liked it so much he's inclined to seek out other works by Theroux. Speaking as a long-time Therouxphile (I've read every one of his travel books and more than a few of his novels; I even read--and liked--his much-maligned memoir about his friendship with V.S. Naipaul), I think that's an excellent idea.
