Four Books That Will Interest You to Travel the World

There’s truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining life experience. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help us come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will interest you to travel the world.

SEATTLE: Where You’d Go, Bernadette? By Maria Sample

Maria Sample’s first novel is not exactly a love story to Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the amusing incidents.

Buy it on Amazon. price: $26.60.

ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel

You can’t travel to Thomas Cromwell’s England without a time machine, but reading Hilary Mantel’s prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, much of which is still there.

Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10.

NANTUCKET: Here’s to Us by Eli Hildebrand

Eli Hildebrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest is Here’s to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach read.

Buy it on Amazon. price: $30.80.

ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter

B

When I was three years old, my parents discovered I was totally deaf. But instead of sending me to a school for the deaf, they d ecided to “mainstream” me. All of my peers and teachers world have normal hearing.

I was the only deaf child at Blue Creel Elementary School. From almost the first day there, the other kids made fun of me mainly because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. And I also had difficulty with most of my school work.

When the other kids made fun of me, I was sure that I was a bad person. I saw myself as a boy who wasn’t smart enough to keep up with the class.

Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase.
