Littourati News: Some Travel Literature Lists
Recently, I stumbled across the following lists of travel literature. I certainly haven't read all of these, and I'm not necessarily going to make travel books or novels the focus of my Littourati posts in all cases because I am focused on the journeys that literature, any literature, creates in my imagination. But, that being said, travel literature is easy for me to map because it goes from place to place. So, here's some online lists of travel literature you might find interesting:
The Telegraph's (UK) 20 Best Travel Books of All Time
The Guardian's (UK) Tim Lott: Best Road Novels
Smithsonian.com: Great Road Trips in American Literature
Missing Parsons' Top 10 Road Books
Wayward Women: Great Books Where Women Hit the Road
List of Top American Road Trip Books
Top 10 Great Travel Novels by Listverse
100 Most Celebrated Travel Books of All Time by Worldhum
The 50 Greatest Travel Books of All Time on the Matador Network
Well, that's a lot of lists to keep you busy. I hope you try a few of them and I hope they take you many places!
