Buridan The Boomer: The Chronicles of a Lawnmower Repairman (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789692892995)

This is the life story of Buridan, who at the age of seventeen found himself working in a lawnmower factory, where in desperation he creates a vision of the future. Making the most of serendipity, and using his "dyslexic advantage", he charts a path to adventure, worldwide travel, and solving personal challenges. Along the way, Buridan faces more than a few, sometimes life-threatening jeopardies.

Our lawnmower man flies on Concorde, coauthors a book, works for the Home Office, and has three Mafia-related incidents across three continents. However, many of the tales are about his often comical interactions with his friends and the many people he meets on his journey.
