and… IT IS GREAT!!!

As others already said: I did not read most of them. So, great resource for new dreams.
I would add:

“Voice of Marrakes” (Elias Canetti). It is in italian I am not sure has been translated. But it is really great. I have been reading it while traveling across Morocco and it’s been a real pleasure.

and, I am reading just now:
Eastern Horizon (Levison Wood)
It starts very slowly, almost disappointing. And than, when he approached Iran and on, it really catches you and traps in his journey.

about book “A Walk in the Woods”

Having read/listened to other Bryson books i was expecting to like the book but unfortunately this one fell flat for me. As someone who participates in many outdoor activities i had a hard time understanding how anyone with intelligence would willingly go into (semi)wilderness so unprepared and then rinse and repeat. If you want better Bryson stick with One Summer or A Short History of Nearly everything.

Thanks! We’re sure you’ll love whichever ones you decide to pick up next :)

That’s a great favorite! We definitely appreciate the perspective Harrer gave us throughout the book.

Both of those are such great books! And considering some movie adaptations are kind of awful lol we found the ones from our list to be pretty impressive!

We’re big fans of the classics, they still remain some of the best :)

Absolutely! We’re happy to share :)

Understandable, both On the Road and Into the Wild tell beautiful stories and have great lessons!

Yes, Hector and the Search for Happiness is definitely very interesting. You’ll love it. And if you have the time, check out the movie. It made our list of best travel movies as well!

We totally agree! Sarah did a great job giving an honest and thoughtful perspective of her time in India.
