Does anyone have suggestions for fiction that is about travel?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

Travel: The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio
The only thing that could make "Go the Fuck to Sleep" better? Samuel L. Jackson did the audiobook.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I just read Ann Patchett's latest, State of Wonder, which involves traveling to Brazil, and quite liked it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...Deadline. But i has a complaint. A kvetch, if you would.
My take on that was that the reader was supposed to think "What the fuck?!" and thus Georgia's "What the fuck is going on here?" is meant to be an echo of that. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing how cleverly that question gets answered in the next book.
My own primary complaint is that no one seemed to regret or even have qualms over deceiving their audience with false blog posts. The necessity is clear, but no one seemed to mind, or care what it would do to their credibility if they ever got to the point where they could go public with the story.
