Anyone else read Sean Condon? He has an hilarious column called “Don’t Get Me Started” which an Australian friend mails to me, and he’s written [three of the best, funniest travel books](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/104-5922489-3133555) I’ve ever read. The fact that he answered my e-mail by telling me he’s a fan of my work, too, only sealed my opinion of his overall brilliance . . . [P.S. Upon previewing, the damned amazon link does not seem to be working–just go to amazon and search under books for “Sean Condon” if the bloody thing acts up] ---

Sean Condon is one hell of a funny man. _Sean and David’s Long Drive_ would have to be one of the most amusing books I’ve ever read about Australia. By the way, is the column your friend emails you the one from The Age? Or is he published elsewhere as well? ---

I don’t know where it’s from; some Aussie magazine, and it’s called “Don’t Get Me Started.” Not online, sadly.
