LibrarianRyan The top left one is my fav of the three. Not impressed with the top right version. 6y
rubyslippersreads @LibrarianRyan I agree (though of course I have a soft spot for the MGM movie tie-in. 😊👠) 6y
LazyDays I love the art of the top left one I have two of the complete graphic novels because I love the art style so much!💓💓💓 6y

#LitsyClassics #MayLovesClassics #day21 #JourneyStory There‘s so many ways of interpreting this prompt, is it an inner journey? A journey to a particular place? Or just a journey as its own reward. I‘ve decided to go with a journey to murder on one of the most exclusive & remote train journeys in Europe. Poirot is taking the Orient Express back to London when one of his fellow passengers is brutally murdered. There begins a Dame Agatha classic.

Linsy Beautiful copy! 6y

Widely thought to be the “mother” of all great travelogues, this book (told in the form of a diary) tells of the author‘s 10-month journey through the Middle East in the 1930s.

One of my new favourites. Would never have read this if not for Litsy. It‘s not my usual genre at all but it ended up being a five star read for me ✨✨ #journeystory #maylovesclassics #litsyclassics

These two #journeystory books have been sitting next to each other, TBR, for a really long time on my shelves. I should get to them soon as they‘re both #1001Books. Which one should I read first 🤔? #maylovesclassics

Leftcoastzen My vote would be by order of publication. 6y
SqueakyChu Either one. I enjoyed them both. Well, maybe start with On The Road. 6y
OrangeMooseReads Start with On the Road. Both of these are excellent books 6y

Cathythoughts I was looking at On The Road in the shop today ... I must have at least dipped into it years ago 🤔, it was all the rage. . I‘d love to hear your thoughts if this is the one you go for 👍🏻 (edited) 6y
ValerieAndBooks @Leftcoastzen @SqueakyChu @OrangeMooseReads @Cathythoughts Looks like the vote is for On the Road first of these two 😊! It was indeed published first. The #Litsy rating is only 25% 😱 6y

Leftcoastzen @ValerieAndBooks Try to put it in its historical context , there were people who came back from WWII and wanted suburbia , the grey flannel suit,and then there were the ones wanted no part of the middle class American life,hipsters , dreamers , artists , authority and conformity was not their bag.Kerouac started it in 1949, though not published till 57.I think even if you don‘t love it ,you will get how it was a breakthrough,of sorts. 6y
Leftcoastzen Oh ,and look online for the key to who everybody is if it‘s not in the introduction. Makes it more fun ! 6y

I was obsessed with this when I was (not so) young and still spent an embarrassing number of years hoping that the centre of our earth held exactly these mysteries. I can't bring myself to watch the Brendan Fraser movie.

This is one of the original illustrations by Édouard Riou for this classic, first published in French in 1864.
