I agree - for all Charlie's knobbishness on TV, he actually writes (or dictates - either way) very well, with plenty of conviction - I enjoyed his segments in both books... try and get the editions with the extra photographs, as there are some fantastic photos in both those books too.
"Lois on the Loose" is a classic - full of humour, and it really imparts the sense of wonder and innocence you can only really experience on a first time adventure...
Another book I read recently and really liked was "The Hunt for Puerto Del Faglioli" by Paddy Tyson [publisher of Overland magazine, and MAG rep amongst other hats] - I saw him at a Q&A at Touratech last year and he was very funny - likewise his book about traveling in Canada, the US and Central America is full of great anecdotes - recommended!
