Travel website TripAdvisor has come up with a list of the World's Top Literary Spots to visit.

Destinations on the list include: London (birthplace of authors such as Keats and setting for countless novels), Edinburgh (Arthur Conan Doyle), and New York (Arthur Miller).



Are there anyplaces that you have read about that you would love to visit (real or imaginary)?

I have already been, but I'd love to go back to Sanibel Florida... Many authors are there and have been there-one was on a year long sabaatical writing about what is important in life...

Im not sure about reading about, not really. But when I was a photo tech. I seen 1000's and 1000's of pictures and heard stories about them from my customers. I could sit here all night posting some of the places.
The main place I want to go is Disney Land.

Edinburgh is my home city.
The list of writers is enormous, not just ACD - eg Alexander McCall Smith, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott - and we've even adopted an Englishwoman, JK Rowling (she wrote her books in Edinburgh and is now married to a Scot, with 2 Scottish-born children).
