Jaguars is a collection of classic Tim Cahill adventures. It's been years since I've read the book, so I won't comment on specific stories, but I can comment on Cahill. In my next life, I want to be Tim Cahill. He goes on the most offbeat adventures around the world, then writes about them with style. His tales are compelling and give a true sense of place. Cahill also throws in just enough self-effacing humor to keep you from resenting him for his charmed life.
