The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
Take a range of subjects relating to travel – anticipation; the sublime; the exotic and others. Find a writer with relevant works and location (for example Countryside and City, Wordsworth and the Lake District) then let the author visit, read and whimsically ponder in what turns out to be an engaging, thoughtful and insightful manner. I really enjoyed this and it has certainly encouraged me to go further with my own reading, especially John Ruskin!
