On the Plain of Snakes, by Paul Theroux. Really, anything by Paul Theroux!

Travel memoirs:
– Four Seasons in Rome (Anthony Doerr)
– Lands of Lost Borders (Kate Harris)
– A Walk in the Woods (Bill Bryson) (more of a hiking memoir than a travel memoir)
– Deep Creek (Pam Houston) (kind of a travel memoir, kind of a home-and-away memoir)
– Call You When I Land (Nikki Vargas) (I haven’t read this yet; it’s being released next week on Tuesday, Nov. 7)
Most people love A Walk in the Woods. I enjoyed it, but I personally prefer Four Seasons in Rome and Lands of Lost Borders.

Here’s an 1840s travelogue. If you read through the whole thing, it will keep you busy for a while:
Also, if you need help with people/places references, ping us. It can get a bit confusing with all the relatively common 1840s knowledge that is assumed for the reader and without modern annotation 🙂
