The Armchair Adventurer Booklist - Page 3

My idiosyncratic list of armchair travel and adventure. A great travel memoir or novel can transport you to anyplace on earth and make you feel the biting cold of the polar caps and the sweaty claustrophobia of the rainforest.This list is the best of the books I have read and traveled with. Not all are travel books. There are some history and political science books on the list as well.
