What Book Makes You Want To Travel?

When novels inspire your greatest wanderlust.

There's nothing as magical as when a great book makes you feel like you've been transported to a faraway land.

And sometimes, you fall so much in love with a book and its setting that it awakens your wanderlust and makes you actually want to plan a trip ASAP.

Maybe Wild by Cheryl Strayed made you want to hike the Pacific Crest Trail or go on a similar journey through nature.

Maybe a book like Kristin Newman's memoir What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding caused you to forget all of your adult responsibilities and have a fabulous adventure somewhere halfway around the world.

Or a beautiful novel that perfectly portrays the soul's desire to travel like The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho encouraged you to pack your bags and take the next flight out.
