50 Adventure Novels You Have to Read Before You Die

Some might argue that the adventure novel has been undermined by the modern age: since you can fly just about anywhere for a relatively reasonable price, or experience on the internet for free, the allure of a story that takes you to far-away places and unfamiliar cultures for the sake of adventure has been lost. In reality, the spirit lives on—if only because so many fantastic adventure stories have already been written. The 50 novels listed here are the sort of old-school romps designed to inspire you to dig out your hiking gear, quit your job, and go seeking your fortune before it's too late.
