GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL (11/23/2012)


It's that time of year when many of us are planning holiday
getaways. Here's some book suggestions that I think will travel well or just make for great escapes whether traveling or not.

I'm partial to fiction, so the following is a list of ten novels reviewed on this blog that will be good travel companions. I've also included short stories, history, and non-fiction for those that prefer to mix it up.
