Going to new places, meeting interesting people, discovering new cultures is simply fascinating.
But, we don't always have the time or the budget to travel to all these places around the globe. And if you are slightly eco-conscious, you might not want to travel too far for your holidays.
Discovering a new country through books can be amazing.
The Telegraph has compiled a list of The 20 best travel books of all time.
What is your favourite travel book?

My favourite travel book was The Drifters by James Michener. Read it in the 70s and desperately wanted to hitchhike Europe because of it.
i read many books and i have too many favorites but what i really prefer is reading blogs (like yours) and i can live vicariously through them
So many, but I love Paul Theroux's Great Railway Bazaar, Jenny Diski's Skating to Antartica, David Sedaris' stuff on Paris and Tokyo,and Bill Bryson or Graham Greene on pretty much anywhere!
Many thanks Boomergirl, Zablon and Jools for your comments. I will definitely have a look at your suggestions. I need loads of books for a long haul flight.
