Top Ten Books Featuring Travel In Some Way (road trips, airplanes, travelogues, anything where there is traveling in the book!)

At first I couldn't think of anything except Harry Potter traveling by train, broom, and flying car. I haven't read many books that exclusively focus on travel unless it was a non-fiction travel guide to countries that I wish I could go to someday.

Almost every book features a little bit of travel, though, right?

 

On the Road by Jack Kerouac

This one is pretty obvious.

 

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

I felt like Gaiman had written this while traveling across America while I read it.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Bilbo did more traveling than he ever had before in this book.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien

Tons of traveling across Middle Earth in these books. :) 

The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman

I would love to travel via polar bear like Lyra. Also traveling to other worlds would be cool.

Candide by Voltaire

All I can really remember of this book is him traveling and ending up in a golden city.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

I remember a few train rides to random places in Europe in the search for her father.

 



Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

Who wouldn't want to travel by moving castle?

 

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Does time travel count?

 

Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson

Had to throw in a classic. Travels by boat. :)
