I thought it would be appropriate to read these collected columns while on vacation myself. I‘m not getting as much reading time as I wanted because it‘s my parents‘ 50th anniversary trip. I may hide out at the pool later and be all antisocial with my books though.
Literary pilgrimages around the world collected into a book of essays? Yes, please! And a sneak peek at one of the bookmarks I made for the exchange.
"True literature itself is a flight of fancy, and appreciators of it are all too familiar with the discombobulating feeling of finishing a novel and being slightly surprised to be at home in a recliner rather than hundreds of miles-and hundreds of years-away. Above all, Footsteps' essays are for the avid reader who can travel by simply turning a page. Turn these, and they'll take you around the world."
