[quote=Anonymous]I used to INHALE travel memoirs. They definitely scratch an itch.  I love Peter Hessler's books about China.  The first is River Town, which is about his life in China as a Peace Corp volunteer.  His writing is amazing.  Other great Peace Corp books are Nine Hills to Nambokonkaha by Sarah Erdman and Monique and the Mango Rains by Kris Holloway. I enjoy anything by Pico Ayer, Mary Morris, Peter Matthieson and Paul Theroux, especially Mountains Beyond Mountains and Ghost Train to the Eastern Star by the Theroux.  Catfish and Mandala.  Sex Lives of Cannibals.  Seven Years in Tibet.  A Chef's Tour by Anthony Bourdain.   Frances Mayes wrote several books about living or traveling abroad--I'm not actually a huge fan but people love Under the Tuscan Sun.  Leave Only Footprints by Conor Knighton.  Hokkaido Highway Blues.  Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris has a lot about settling in France and it is hilarious.  A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle is fun (but his later books about life there get kind of repetitive).  Pick where you want to go!  Personally, I start with River Town.  [/quote]
