The Tao of Travel
Paul Theroux
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
<span>Paul Theroux celebrates 
fifty years of wandering the globe by collecting the best writing on 
travel from the books that shaped him, as a reader and a traveler. Part 
philosophical guide, part miscellany, part reminiscence, <i>The Tao of Travel</i>
 enumerates “The Contents of Some Travelers’ Bags” and exposes “Writers 
Who Wrote about Places They Never Visited”; tracks extreme journeys in 
“Travel as an Ordeal” and highlights some of “Travelers’ Favorite 
Places.” </span>
