Two television writers from LA race each other around the globe (without airplanes, one guy cheats), with the prize being an expensive bottle of Scotch. The Ridiculous Race is a funny, quick read and has convinced me the Trans-Siberian Railway does not make Siberia a glamorous destination. The book has a practical lesson to impart: When embarking on your race around the world, make sure you get to be the person who heads west (you don't lose time that direction).
