Well, King, who's your fave? Can't put something like that on a site without disclosure. I would go with Eugene Henderson from Bellow's "Henderson the Rain King", but I'm not as well read as some of you out there. Is Sal Paradise the best we've got?
Of that list, I've only read Huckleberry Finn (and watched Star Trek too, I spose). I don't seem to read much literature that involves travel, outside of science fiction.
