An off-shoot from last week’s question: Do you read books from places you DON’T know and haven’t been as a substitute for actually travelling there?
What an interesting question! My answer is a hearty yes! I have no interest in traveling to the middle east or Asia, so reading stories set there definitely substitutes for travel there. I also don't want to see the slums of the world or abject poverty. Is that wrong of me? I doubt I will ever get the opportunity to travel to Africa so far I have enjoyed reading books set there. Oh--and I am not too terribly fond of boats; reading boating stories suffices!
