Bookriot's 100 Must-Read Travel Books

"Real travel is awesome when we can manage it, but sometimes we just have to travel from our armchairs, right? When armchair travel is the most we can do, it's good to have many reading options from which to choose. So I put together a list of 100 books that will take you around the world without requiring any more effort than lifting your hand to turn the pages."
