A good book inspires, leaves you feeling good after reading it, and hopefully teaches you something new either about human nature, historical events or practical advice.

When it comes to travel books, not only should they inspire you to travel more, but they should also take you on an imaginary trip to some of the most interesting places in the world.

Here are a few of my favorite sites that list some of the best travel books – read anytime or take along for the road!
