The Art of Travel
Alain de Botton
@HRAskMe thanks Martin, I hope you'll enjoy it! Re Alain de Botton, the great thing is you really can't go wrong! I'd start with The Art of Travel (no surprise, me saying that) or The Consolations of Philosophy.

Imagine a City: A Pilot's Journey Across the Urban World
Mark Vanhoenacker
The idea that a city exists in the imagination even of those who live in them and think they know them well or have lived their whole lives in them, is an idea I find increasingly lovely and is something I wanted to capture in the book.
