Renting a villa in Umbria this summer? Perhaps you're hiking in
Nepal or just lazing on a Bermuda beach. Or you may be taking the kids
on their first U.S. road trip. Whatever your plans,
we have a book for
you, selected from
Traveler's online
Ultimate Travel Library
of classic and new reads with a great sense of place. Each of these
books will illuminate your destination, give you unexpected tips on
what to see and do, and keep you turning pages during that long flight
or that sunny poolside afternoon.

Thanks for the great list. Great literaure for the beach and summer go together nicely...
This list is awesome! Nothing like getting to know the context of a place with the help of an interesting narrative. We posted a similar list on the NileGuide blog - our Top 50 Adventure Books of All Time: http://blog.nileguide.com/2009/01/21/top-50-adventure-books-of-all-time/
Now I just need to get myself to the library...
