SP 2015 20.8 - Spring Break!

20.8 - Spring Break! - Ed’s Task:
Read a book classified as a travelogue at BPL (Call number 910-919). Books not shelved at BPL will be considered on a case-by-case basis. OR read any book written by an author on the greatest travel book authors list.

So does the book have to be on the list linked, or just be written by an author on the linked list?

I'm thinking of Bill Bryson specifically.

In a Sunburned Country is on the list. I just downloaded his book At Home: A Short History of Private Life and would like to see if this would qualify for the task.

Thanks!

The book does not need to be on the linked list. Any book by the listed authors will work.

Worldcat lists its subject as:

Greenland -- Description and travel.
Rasmussen, Knud, -- 1879-1933 -- Travel -- Greenland.

Yes, it is approved. Please remind the score-keepers of this when you post.
