imageThe Globe and Mail is hard at work on a list of the 50 Greatest Books—each week through 2008 they’re adding another entry—and some of our favorite fictional travelers are representin’. It’s only week 17, and already The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Gulliver’s Travels and Don Quixote have made the cut. I won’t hold my breath waiting for a nonfiction travel narrative to make the list, but stay tuned to see if Sal Paradise or Odysseus show up later in the year.
