I love book lists - whether they come from a friend's book club, from the New York Times, or from a random website. I also often love to read books in a single category. A few years ago, I picked a country, and would read five or six books about that country, or by authors from that country, and then move on. I used it as a way to supplement my own travels, or when I wasn't able to travel, as a cure for my wanderlust. My favorite book of travel reading lists organized by country is Book Lust to Go. But now, there's NPR Summer Reading List. Not only is it a list of suggested books to read, but it is multiple lists and they are categorized by mode of transport. Each list includes fiction and non-fiction, as well as books for adults and books for children. Because we are traveling by plane to England next month, I am planning to pick out a few selections from The Fly List. And because Ben and I just finished enjoying James and the Giant Peach, I think we will also take our chances with a few more from the Dragon, Drugs, or Giant Peach List. Bon Voyage and Safe Travels to all!
