Travel related books give me inspiration when I am not able to get away. Below are a few books I have enjoyed over the years for one reason or another. What do you love to read in between adventures? What has provided you with travel related inspiration when the boss won’t give you time off or your check book won’t balance? How do you fill the times in between traveling?

I saw one slide of Chauvet Cave when I was in Community College which inspired me to purchase this book. It in turn prompted a visit to the cave in France in 2010. History and art meet in this beautiful photo book.
