Oda brought this question up in another thread and I thought it would make a great topic!!

Which places do you guys want to go to because of literature?

Thanks Oda!!!


Karen’s Library | 11320 comments Mod
Oda, you mentioned Prague because of Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor and I couldn't agree more!!

Also, I've always wanted to go to Paris and follow the art trail described in The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon, #2) by Dan Brown and go to see the Vatican because of Angels & Demons (Robert Langdon, #1) by Dan Brown .

That's what I get off the top of my head. Let me go through my books and see what else I can think of.

Harlee | 1583 comments Definitely Prague because of DoSM, but I wanna visit Greece and Rome because of the Percy Jackson series :) They are what got me interested in Greek and Roman mythology!

Paris because of Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1) by Stephanie Perkins Although I want to go there as Anna, and that would be impossible!

Prague has always been on my list, but DoS&B increased that want!

Atlanta, GA because of Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell --All the tourist stuff. Also because of Coca-Cola.

Washington state to see all the Twilight (Twilight, #1) by Stephenie Meyer stuff. Also because I've always wanted to go there, its supposed to be beautiful!

The UK, mostly because of Harry Potter, Beatrix Potter, Jane Austen, Shakespeare, etc. All the sites to see!

That's all I got off the top of my head!

London and England is still probably my #1 bookish place. SO MANY books that take place there, plus so many cool author sights to see!
Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes made me want to to go Tuscany, and just Italy in general.

A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird, #1) by Claudia Gray makes me want to go to Russia. I be the historical museums there are fascinating. Plus, that architecture! The Romanovs have always interested me too. St. Petersburg is especially a city I want to visit.
