Discussion: What's your favorite travelogue?
Let's chat about travel books.
Hey there, readers!
Our family is currently enjoying our spring break road trip through Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. Naturally, I’d love to hear about your favorite books in the “travel” genre.
A few of my own:
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
Lands of Lost Borders by Kate Harris
Four Seasons in Rome by Anthony Doerr
Travels With Charley by John Steinbeck
Whether fiction or non-fiction, let us all know the books that inspire your wanderlust!
Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia by Chris Stewart. Not so much a travelogue as a transition-longue. Stewart and his wife move to Spain from England after he is replaced by Phil Collins in the band Genesis. It's hilarious and poignant.
Bryson's A Walk in the Woods is terrific. Harkening back to movie adaptations, it was a terrible movie adaptation (though not a terrible movie - just far from great).
I haven’t read too many, but Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert was really good!
