There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
The Hobbit.
Decameron
Don Quixote or any of the classic "Picaro" tales that were its ancestors.
Till Eulenspiegel though I have to admit my reaction to a lot of the stories was "people thought that was funny? Boiling dogs alive, shitting in public bath houses? Really?" But I guess in an era when public executions, and public floggings were considered entertainment .... And trickster stories traditionally included a lot of very rough humor, so...
Does anyone have suggestions for fiction that is about travel?
Y: The Last Man. Heh.

I'll see you and raise you The Walking Dead.
Travel: The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio

Werner Herzog is also doing an audiobook version.
I think lots of people should do it: Patrick Stewart, Morgan Freeman, Sean Bean, Colin Farrell, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Wanda Sykes, Patton Oswalt, Julie Delpy, Dame Maggie Smith.
Johnny Cash would've been good.
Travel: Portrait of a Lady could work.
That's the James I was thinking of. . .couldn't recall the title.
I just read Ann Patchett's latest, State of Wonder, which involves traveling to Brazil, and quite liked it.
Is it that the book should be about travel, or have a travel theme? Jon Irving's Untl I Find You and Alice Walker's Temple of My familiar are travel themed.
Also, I just found out that there is a Jon Irving book I haven't read!
Oh, and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues is also travel themed
