first off it should be noted that Bill Bryson is a king amongst travel writers... I would recommend "Undress me in the Temple of Heaven" and "Lost on Planet China" for anyone who is considering joining me here in the world's most populace country. The former is an account of when travel goes wrong for two young women (actually a good read no matter where you are going). The latter is the most humorous account of traveling I have found on travel in China. Be warned... do not read it on the overnight train, your laughter will keep your bunk mates up all night!

In 2004, immediately following my graduation from UCLA, I moved to Rome, Italy with $5,000, no contacts, and a minimal knowledge of the Italian language. Over the next two and a half years, I scrapped my way through Rome’s underground nightlife sector, became a fluent Italian speaker, and bartended at some of the most exclusive nightclubs across the Eternal City. New Year’s Eve 2004/2005 was my very first night working behind a bar in the Italian capital.

South Africa Bryce Courtenay - The Power of One The plot takes place in the 1930s in South Africa and tells about the life and the childhood of a little boy during the apartheid in ZA. It's half history and half drama, but so informative and touching, i couldn't stop reading - my definite recommendation!!!

bike touring books
I read <a href="http://www.throughtheringer.wordpress.com">you can't ride a bike to alaska. It's an island</a> a few years back and enjoyed it despite not being too well written. It's about a guy who rode from Montana to Alaska in the early 80's. Not sure if that's what you're looking for in this thread.

Around the world
I'm sure a lot of people will have already read it. Regardless, 'Jupiter's Travels' by Ted Simon is by far, one of the most inspiring travel books I've ever come across.
In a nutshell, one man and his motorbike. Four years riding around the world. Incredible.

quakerlizz Ted's 'revisit' to his Jupiter haunts is an excellent follow through

A forum for discussing books travellers should read to understand the character of the destinations they visit.
These could be "travel literature" in the traditional sense, such as most of what Bill Bryson writes, or it could be all manner of other reading material, from history books to novels. (Not guidebooks.)
Please keep your reviews and recommendations to the appropriate thread. For example, if it is a book on Vietnam then comment in the Vietnam thread. If there isn't a thread for the country the book/s refer to, then start a new one.
