help! I am a terrible gift-giver

Dear The Internet,

Does anyone have any recommendations for really good travelogues? (You know, books that are basically memoirs about traveling across Africa or through a famous city or something.) I would really appreciate any you might know.

Thanks,
Lindsey

Hmm, he does, but it's a present for my aunt, and I think she's probably read him. And it being for my aunt is similarly a problem re: A Year In The Merde (which, OH HEY, I still have your copy of that book...um...), since she's Dutch and probably wouldn't find it funny in quite the right way...

But I will definitely ask my bookstore person for advice! I do love soliciting opinions. :)
