In A Sunburned Country [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Adobe Reader 7]
by Bill Bryson
|
|
 Every time Bill Bryson walks out the door, memorable travel literature threatens to break out. His previous excursion along the Appalachian Trail resulted in the sublime national bestseller A Walk in the Woods. In A Sunburned Country is his report on what he found in an entirely different place: Australia, the country that doubles as a continent, and a place with the friendliest inhabitants, the hottest, driest weather, and the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on the planet.

A Walk in the Woods [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Adobe Reader 7]
by Bill Bryson
|
|
A Walk in the Woods is a laugh-out-loud account of an outrageously rugged hike by a beloved comic author. Bill Bryson decided in 1996 to walk the 2,100-mile Appalachian trail. Winding from Georgia to Maine, this uninterrupted "hiker's highway" sweeps through the heart of some of America's most beautiful and treacherous terrain. Bryson risked snake bite and hantavirus to trudge up unforgiving mountains, plod through swollen rivers, and yearn for cream sodas and hot showers. This amusingly ill-con... more info>> (Published: 2003)

 A pampered Long Island princess hits the road in a converted bus with her wilderness-loving husband, travels the country for one year, and brings it all hilariously to life in this offbeat and romantic memoir. Doreen and Tim are married psychiatrists with a twist: She's a self-proclaimed Long Island princess, grouchy couch potato, and shoe addict. He's an affable, though driven, outdoorsman. When Tim suggests "chucking it all" to travel cross-country in a converted bus, Doreen asks, "Why can't y... more info>>

Mediterranean Summer: A Season on France's Cote D'Azur and Italy's Costa Bella [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by David Shalleck
|

"Saturday was dawning warm, with only a gentle wind under a light blue sky as we got under way.... With the motor cut out, I could hear the whispered splash of the sea against the hull as we knifed through the Mediterranean. The calming noise, along with the gentle rocking, lulled me into a Zen calm as I went about preparing the crew's lunch.... By keeping just a couple of miles offshore, we had some beautiful sights to our starboard side: the harbor towns of La Napoule and quaint Theoule-sur-Me... more info>>

On the Water [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Adobe Reader 7]

Discovering America in a Rowboat. "I take a stroke and lean back, gazing up into the jet skies, bejeweled by the moon and the galaxies of stars. The hull glides in silence and with such perfect balance as to report no motion. I sit up for another stroke, now looking down as the blades ignite swirling pairs of white constellations of phosphorescent plankton. Two opposing heavens. 'Remember this,' I think to myself." Few people have ever considered the eastern United States to be an island, but wh... more info>> (Published: 2002)

Fried Eggs with Chopsticks: One Woman's Hilarious Adventure into a Country and a Culture Not Her Own [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Adobe Reader 7]
by Polly Evans

Polly Evans's itinerary for China was simple: travel by luxurious high-speed train and long-distance bus, glide along the Grand Canal and hike up scenic mountains. Instead, the linguistically impaired adventurer found herself on a primitive sleeper-minibus where sleep was out of the question; perched atop a tiny mule on a remote mountain pass; and attempting a dubious ferry ride down the Yangtze River. Polly was getting to know China in a way she'd never expected--and would never, ever forget. F... more info>>
