Travel or armchair travel; take your pick. We've got what you need in either case.
Today's book is by the world's best known travel writer Paul Theroux and is called
The Happy Isles of Oceania: Paddling the Pacific.
Maybe you are planning to travel to one of the stunning Pacific Islands and want to get in the mood before you go. Perhaps you just want to read about them from the comfort of your own home. Or possibly you are currently in New Zealand and feeling a bit deprived as the summer degenerates once again into yet more gale force winds, rain, hail, sleet showers, and single-figure temperatures and you need to read about a tropical paradise or five.
Whatever your reason, this book is a great read. It is eloquently written (as you'd expect) and it is informative, packed with adventure, charming, quirky and bound to make you wish you were there, His travels took him to the Solomons, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tahiti, the Marquesas and Easter Island so he's got most places covered.
