See Sicily Without Leaving Home

For those of you who love to read about travel almost as much as travelling itself, Canadian writer Michelle Orange has published The Sicily Pages with small publisher Hobart Pulp, which describes it as "a series of letters she wrote while traveling alone throughout the region.

Though originally meant to reassure an anxious correspondent, over time the letters--both high-spirited and frank, searching and satisfied--grew into something larger than the sum of their parts: a love letter to Italy, to an uncertain future, and to the lost art of letter writing itself."

The book is simply cool to look at, too, with its passport design and full-color Sicilian maps. Mama mia!
