Literary journeys

another great travel option for the broke:
Google Lit Trips!
I like to read books for escapism. This takes it to the next level by mapping out key locations and/or journeys that take place in works of literature. Then each location has a note about what happened there in the book.
They have books like Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" and Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner". You just click on the .kmz file, choose to open the file with google earth and off you go! Such a great way to get into the author's head and visualize these places.
