In Search Of #6


Read by Damon Timm

(4.5 stars; 4 reviews)

In Search of #6 is the story of the trials and trails of a man, a best friend, two bicycles, three states, four dispersed campsites, five tires, seven post-prandial naps, twenty-one dozen eggs, 1,100 miles, 15,000 vertical feet, and the search for a single kiss.

It is a tale of love, friendship, lactic acid, Achilles' Tendons, mistaken identities, false promises, broken dreams, large mountains, pungent flatulence, Heterosexual Life Partnership, childhood reminiscence, Umberto Eco, overused comic ploys, and considerable merriment. In Search of #6 is read by the author and includes audio interludes recorded during the course of the trip itself.

Prepare to hit the road. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish there was more, and you'll certainly think twice about eating more than four eggs a day.

I feel really lucky that this book found its way to me. At first blush, it doesn't seem like something I'd relate to: I am a middle aged, overweight, terribly introverted (or maybe downright antisocial is a better word), totally non-athletic guy. You might think I would have little in ...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was humorous and light-hearted. Mr. Timm expressed very well the feeling I get every time I look at Mt. Rainier (even after 30 years, it's never lost its ability to awe). As a long distance cyclist, living in Washington State (not too far from ...

Well...I certainly never thought that I would find myself listening to a travelogue. I am usually into sci-fi, fantasy...travelogue? No. Yet, once I started listening..I couldn't stop. I wanted to know what happened next the whole way through. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed your story, and ...

This was a great book that had me laughing often. I especially liked the British accent that Damon would use to recount conversations between him and Ben. It gave me the ridiculous image of the two of them in smoking jackets and puffing on pipes talking around the campfire. Very ...

Just posted a review on my latest "Grizzly's Growls" podcast. I hope I did justice to the book; it wasn't my best show. Really liked it, though. I think you'll approve of my primary comment on the book, at least. Griz

Self-serving, shallow, and pretentious at best, particularly the performance; grating and un-listenable prattle at worst. Rarely do I give up on a book, but after half the book I couldnot listen any longer. Yes, Damom just isn't funny.

Excellent listen! Damon captures the essence of what it feels like to be on a long journey with humor and without shirking from the less-than-awesome moments. As a thru-hiker, I related wholeheartedly!

This is one of the few podiobooks that has made me laugh out loud while driving alone in my car. A must read for anyone that's considered a bike tour.
