Books about walking suck

September 25, 2026 • 4:54pm

I’ve taken a risk and purchased another book about walking. I’ve tried to read a few down the years. And failed.

I love walking. But prose about it really does little for me. Walking somehow transcends language. And the written word can’t capture what it is to walk.

Books about it tend to say a whole lot of nothing.

I’m only 5 pages in on this new one and I know I won’t last. It’s too poncy (though it is written by a philosopher, so what did I expect).
