I preferred A Field Guide To Getting Lost, as it is more open, speculative, philosophical and poetic, less of a historical trawl - Wanderlust devotes about half the book to rural wanderers like Rousseau, Kirkegaard and Wordsworth, who didn't interest me that much, and half to urban figures and groups, the 'flanuer' of 19th century Paris.. parties, processions and revolutions etc., The Situationists and so on, which I find much more interesting.
