Is Paul Theoroux one of them? I also enjoy older travel books like Wilfred Thesiger ‘Arabian Sands’, ‘Road to Oxiana’ by Robert Byron and all manner of mountaineering and exploring accounts.
I keep a list of books i have read and given away - stops me getting the same ones again.

Yes, I think Paul Theoroux was one of them. I just looked through my bookshelves but can't find them, of course, and my memory sucks. A few will be on my kindle.

One advantage of my declining memory will be one day reading all those books again for the first time. Everything else about losing it is 5hit.

I found one. An Italian Education by Tim Parks. It's more of an ex pat story about living in Verona than a travelogue, but it's entertaining.
