Right now I'm listening to a book called Jupiter's Travels: Four Years Around the World on a Triumph. (A Triumph being a British motorcycle, for the uninitiated.) This 1970's account has become a classic for those afflicted with wanderlust, like yours truly, and the inspiration for the likes of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's Long Way Round series. The already pleasant experience of "reading" this book is heightened by the writing of author Ted Simon, already an accomplished journalist when he undertook this massive endeavor.
