The Ultimate 'On The Road' Reading List

When you're on the road, you often find time to read in extraordinary places.

The Works asked a selection of travel bloggers to share their most memorable reading experiences while traveling. We asked them to post about how the book they had read made them feel, exactly where they were when they read it and to describe their surroundings and situation, explaining why the moment had such an impact.

We were delighted with the response; some of the travellers' tales were really captivating and managed to evoke a real sense of emotion and place.
