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!
