Book Lovers Day

Last week I watched a woman sitting on her deck at the beach reading a book. I was managing my three children but I thought how lovely it would be to read by the sea. Someday.

August 9 is Book Lovers Day. And to celebrate, here is Budget Travel's 25 Greatest Travel Books of All Time.

I have to say that I'm shocked A Room With a View did not make this list.

What book(s) would you have included? What books gave you a picture of faraway places and made you want to get there anyway you could?
