Books that Inspire Wanderlust

[BBMacLaird]

Someone in our company, not me ;), compiled a list of 12 books to inspire our wanderlust.

Have you read any of these books? I have read a few and happen to have a couple others on my nightstand!

 

Any others you'd recommend? If so, please tell us the country/region of your suggestion.

Love Shadow of the Wind. When we finally made it to Barcelona, I had to track down all kinds of sites in the book. Awesome read to accompany a trip to Spain!

Anything by Bill Bryson (depends on where you're going ;-) I read Notes from a Small Island before a trip to England last month.

 

Oracle Bones (Peter Hessler, re: China).

 

Path Between the Seas (David McCullough) for a Panama Canal cruise.

 

(I always look for books for travel - love history & biographies & memoirs, as well as fiction)
