Bestseller Travel: Escape With A Few Good Books This Weekend

Maybe you're already off gallivanting for this Labor Day weekend, and maybe you're only dreaming about it. Hey, we sympathize! But either way, you can always do a little armchair traveling. With the help of the current New York Times bestseller list, we suggest one of the following cities for some end of summer reading:

Charleston, South Carolina
South of Broad, blockbuster author Pat Conroy's first novel in 14 years, follows a group of high school friends reuniting in 1989 for their 20th reunion.
Pack it: If you're also off to see old friends at home. Celebrate the people who made you you!
Skip it: If you're heading for storm territory—much of the book's back half is dedicated (spoiler!) to the ravages of Category 5 Hurricane Hugo.
