In case you've been searching for a brilliant travel read, look no further. While it might be complicated to find a travel book that makes for a really engaging read, it isn't impossible to find 1 that tickles your fancies.

Sarah Macdonald's 'Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure' is 1 such engaging book on travel. The book revolves around the diverse landscapes of India and makes for an interesting read. The author here describes her transition from a skeptical atheist to a genuine believer while gaining knowledge about joy and how to evolve through life. The initial chapters however, may not seem as enticing as they speak about the poverty of the country and other mundane stuff such as living conditions there and the fact that you might get tanned under the sun. This info doesn't actually make for an interesting travel piece.

Another absolute option for travel fiction is Donald Miller's- Through Painted Desserts. This book belongs to the non preachy class in which the writer is seeking causes for his existence and questioning his ideology and faith. Traversing the reasoning process the author takes the reader on a trip replete with aspects of human nature. While some moments talk about beauty that may leave you spell bound, others shed light on the embarrassing circumstances. With such diverse range to its credit, this 1 is the absolute book to read.

In case you enjoy mystery as much as travel, Bill Bryson's 'The Lost Continent' is your greatest bet. The book is an appropriate mix of classy travel writing plus a feel of ambiguity. It revolves around the author's trip to America and describes the diversity of the land. His visit to the Grand Canyon is 1 of the highlights of the tome. And as he travels through the many unfamiliar lanes and roads of the country, he also seems to be searching for something proverbial that would remind him of his home.

The 'Dharma Bums' by Jack Kerouac has a definite advantage over its other counterparts by virtue of its moving and powerful language. The book has been written in a way that compels you to read through to the very last page. The enthusiastic details of the novel bring each character to vibrant life and the descriptions have been given with a careful eye to detail. These engaging characters paired with the poignant narrative make the book a must read.

Go ahead and give these books a read and you are sure to have a great time getting to understand about different locations. However, make sure that you wear your contact lenses or spectacles before you begin reading any of these else you will strain your eyes. Happy reading!
