Given that Paul Theroux has proven himself to be a moron, here are a few travel writers whose works are actually worth reading:
- Pico Iyer (Recommended titles: Sun After Dark: Flights Into the Foreign; Falling Off the Map: Some Lonely Places of The World; The Global Soul: Jet Lag, Shopping Malls, and the Search for Home)
- Geoff Dyer (Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi - actually a fiction book)
- Mark Twain (A Tramp Abroad; Following the Equator)
