Don’t want you to miss this comment, which was left at the Great Big Giveaway page: “Travel book that left me hot and bothered: The Magic Bus by Rory MacLean.” from Richard Mussler-Wright

Seems we’re going to accumulate an interesting stack of travel porn.

One travel related novel that really turned me on was The Hungry Tide, set in the Sundarbans. I recently finished Wuthering Heights and it was very descriptive of the Moors. Please, let me win Decoding the Lost Symbol. .-= Claire Rogers´s last blog ..Shangri-la Posts In Reading Order =-.

Oohh. descriptive writing is always fun to read. France always sounds so vibrant and colorful. I couldn’t imagine a dreary day there. It even sounds beautiful when it rains.

Sign me up for your Decoding the Lost Symbol book. It sounds really great.

Many times. When I read Eva Moves the Furniture, by Margot Livesey, I wanted to jump in a plane and travel to Scotland, to experience the landscape and people she described so well. Before reading this book, Scotland never tempted me. .-= Alexandra´s last blog ..Look What You Missed! =-.

This is one of those books that I SHOULD have read by now, but have not. I like your definition of books that inspire travel.
