2007_08_vacation.gifAugust is upon us, summer's last hurrah before we prepare to nestle in for the long winter. It's a time for holidays, trips to exotic locales and faraway destinations, even if only in our head.

So we want to know, what's your favorite book about or regarding travel? Do you read a travel guide about Timbuktu for fun to imagine you're visiting? Or maybe your vacation setting is ideal for where you'd like to be, regardless of the story line.

Let us know what book takes you there.
