Read the World

A travel guide to literature.

About the Project

As a writer and reader, I enjoy tying my travel to literature. Before traveling, I often look up famous authors who wrote where I am going. I like going to the cafes they frequented or walking in the same parks as them. I also try to find stories that are set in city or country I will be in. While traveling, there is nothing more fun than taking an afternoon to read a short story that is layered on top of the place I inhabit. Because of this, I wanted to create a map where readers can easily find a book or short story by where the story was written or where it was set. My dream was to have an interactive map where we can easily access links to works of literature based on our current location.

Of course, that is a big undertaking, so I want to open the project to other authors/readers.
