I've read it, can recommend.

Also "Dark Star Express" about his rail/road travels in Africa, 30 yrs after his experience as a Peace Corps volunteer.

I can also recommend "The Old Patagonian Express", the first of Theroux's books that I read. It's about a rail journey from Boston to southern Argentina.

Although not a travel book, "My Other Life", his fictional self-biography, was an enlightening, superb text.

If I read this exchange _anywhere else on the internet_ I would have thought these guys have got to be shilling for the author.
