Because I'm a geek
...and because I love books and travel and I love to make lists...
I'm currently making a list of books about places or books in which a place is important.
For example, when I was in Paris, I read A Moveable Feast by Hemingway, because it was about Paris. I like reading books that feature places I have been, although I would rather read them when I'm actually visiting that place.
So there's The Historian, which features a lot of places I've been: Amsterdam, Istanbul, Venice...etc. etc.
So...help me make this list. What books can you think of that are about places, or at least a place that figures prominently in the book? They don't necessarily have to be fiction. I have Under the Tuscan Sun and A Year in Provence on the list. I also have A Tale of Two Cities, Girl With A Pearl Earring, The Da Vinci Code...etc. etc.
I'm curious to see what you come up with.
