I decided on one book that is sort of a stretch regarding your suggested guidelines. I am going to read <i>Gold</i> by Chris Cleave, which is a fictional story about two female cyclists training for the London 2012 olympics. I think it works because we went to some games in London last week. That's sort of a book pilgrimage, right? I had hoped to get the book before I left for London so I could read it while I was there, but again, that never happened. Hoping to start it next week. :) <br /><br />How is everyone else doing with their Book Pilgrimage?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342623555220583614.post-75062426264347516562012-05-11T10:34:31.121-04:002012-05-11T10:34:31.121-04:00Thanks, Christine, and don't feel bad.

I think that it is really common for people to not visit destinations in their own areas.<br /><br />If you do go to the Cloisters, try to read King of the Confessors first! And, then take lots of pictures!

I have lived in this area all my life [I'm 43!] and have only been to the Met ONCE! ... and it was so long ago that I barely remember! How embarrassing! I promise you I will try to remedy that sooner rather than later. <br /><br />As for "The Cloisters"--I know where that is and think one of my daughters may have gone their on a school field trip. It is a popular field trip destination for schools around here but again, I'm ashamed to admit I have not been their either! It's less than an hour from where I live and maybe only 30min from where I grew up! Isn't that horrible? I'm going to suggest this as a family outing to my family this summer. <br /><br />Thanks for your help and motivation, Libby! I hope you're able to visit the area someday soon and check it off your bucket list!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342623555220583614.post-21207067080142901702012-05-11T10:13:22.101-04:002012-05-11T10:13:22.101-04:00Wow, Libby, you sure know your stuff!

He talks about how he acquired all this art and where it came from. So, I know all these details - but, I have never actually seen any of it!<br /><br />Before he was in charge of the whole Met, he was in charge of a part that is not connected to the rest called "The Cloisters." It has amazing pieces from the Middle Ages. There is one particular piece that he talks about in "King of the Confessors." Seeing it is on my bucket list(!)Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864587350512328594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342623555220583614.post-31956430442521401232012-05-09T20:12:23.071-04:002012-05-09T20:12:23.071-04:00You will spend your vacation locked in your hotel ...You will spend your vacation locked in your hotel room in Iceland if you read those...we can come up with something else...hmmm...now I am interested in books set in Iceland too.
