Read their collected journey notes/memoirs, they're great. Lewis waxes poetic and Clark gives the technical, practical details.

The Royal Road to Romance by Richard Halliburton made me want to just say gently caress it all and start traveling. Basically, it's a college student around 1920 who says gently caress college, I want to have adventures and just starts traveling. It's a fun, fast read

E: I was so eager to reply that I didn't see this was already recommended haha. Take it as a solid vouch, then.

Strong agree on Halliburton. A lot of fun.

I want to recommend a book for a friend, genre agnostic. Criteria are good, fun, compelling characters, with an engaging story and some level of escapist setting. Cosy cottage mysteries, King Solomon's Mines, that kind of thing. Good (but not junk) reading for stress relief, ideally not relating to a global pandemic.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll let you know if Moonstone, Dunsany, or No.1 Ladies' clicks.
