I always enjoy reading a fictonal account (and biographies) while traveling to a certain location. In the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, I picked up a copy of The Kitchen Boy by Robert Alexander. In Skagway, Alaska, I bought Good Time Girls of the Alaska-Yukon Gold Rush (though non-fiction). I bought my SIL a book taking place in Venice prior to our Med cruise last month: City Of Falling Angels by John Berendt. Just for fun, I got Dreamboat by Judith Gould (a fun sounding cruise mystery).

In my search to find good reading material that take place in different parts of the world, I ran across this website , a list of bibliographies of world fiction. Hope you all find it useful.
