Conde Nast Chooses the Top 86 Travel Books of All Time

Posted September 25, 2007 by Rosalind Gardner · Filed Under Travel Guides 

September’s Conde Nast Traveller lists the top 86 travel books of all time, as chosen by a star-studded panel (including Paul Theroux, Monica Ali, Jared Diamond, Geraldine Brooks, and Gore Vidal).

Here’s a small sample of those selected:

  • Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage
  • The Great Railway Bazaar
  • The Journals of Lewis and Clark (Lewis & Clark Expedition)
  • Roughing It by Mark Twain
  • The Worst Journey in the World: Antarctic 1910-1913

Oh, wouldn’t it be absolutely lovely to have the time to read them all? :-)

BTW, I could have added about 30 more to their list.
