I love to read and couldn't live without a book on the go. However when I'm traveling I can't handle anything too intellectually demanding as there are often too many distractions to contend with. Mysteries set in the locale I'm visiting are ideal. When I was in Sicily last spring I took along Michael Dibden's Aurelio Zen Omnibus and enjoyed these novels immensely. Cara Black's Amy Leduc mysteries invoke the spirit of Paris, albeit the grittier corners of the City of Light - perfect for reading in a cafe or the Parc Monceau.
New York Magazine's A Guide to Sleuth Fiction is a list of books for travelers and armchair travelers alike.
