A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian TrailThis is one of my favorite categories so I really hope I can participate in this group read!
What I was Doing While You Were Breeding by Kristin Newman
The Happy Isles on Oceana by Paul Theroux
The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson
I'll also vote for The Accidental Tourist since Anne Tyler is one of my favorite writers of all time! --Jen from Quebec :0)

The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel."I second this one.
Sofie wrote: "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet - Becky Chambers. Excellent story about a crew of people thrown together travelling to their next gig."That would be my suggestion too!
How about Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake? I haven't read the book, but have seen the movie.
I read the book and enjoyed it much more than the movie, Deb.
The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson
Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the WorldTales of a Female Nomad is the story of Rita Golden Gelman, an ordinary woman who is living an extraordinary existence. At the age of 48, on the verge of a divorce, Rita left an elegant life in Los Angeles to follow her dream of connecting with people in cultures all over the world. In 1986, she sold her possessions and became a nomad, living in a Zapotec village in Mexico, sleeping with sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, and residing everywhere from thatched huts to regal palaces. She has observed orangutans in the rain forest of Borneo, visited trance healers and dens of black magic, and cooked with women on fires all over the world. Rita's example encourages us all to dust off our dreams and rediscover the joy, the exuberance, and the hidden spirit that so many of us bury when we become adults.
I'll probably use it for the "2017 movie" prompt, but The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon.
I nominate A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.
