If you're bored with what you're presently reading, Paul Fussell's 'Abroad' may sell you on the idea of switching to antique travelogues. 'Abroad' is swell reading and it turned me on to a whole pot full of people -- great writers I had never heard of or with whose work I was unfamiliar before I read 'Abroad.'
Fussell's book thus serves as a fine introduction to a literary genre in which strange and eccentric people go to strange and exotic places, see strange and erotic things, stay in horrid hovels and eat weird food -- if they don't get eaten by natives first. 'Abroad' leads us to see travel as travel used to be, when the world was much bigger and more culturally diverse. Highly recommended.
