And you can have a hilarious adventure in Africa with Stuart Stevens's MALARIA DREAMS (nonfiction).

Published in 1982, it was on best seller lists for awhile. It's about his travels across America taking only 'Blue' highways; that is, state roads and older highways that are always in blue on maps, rather than the interstates. He later wrote a book about traveling across the US by water. One of the most interesting readings I ever went to was by Least Heat Moon. The organizer looked in shock when following the introduction Least Heat Moon announced that he would not be reading from any of his works, that he thought readings weren't very interesting. So, the entire event was a question and answer period about his writings in particular and writing in general. It was extremely interesting!
