It is a really cool idea actually, traveling somewhere where a famous book was written. The only thing I can come up with is modern-day like "Davinci Code" and Paris, but it has much more romanticism when you combine classic lit!

The Wasteland is a classic. Funny, whenever I think about London literature I've read, it tends to be period pieces (back when the primary mode of transport was the horse and buggy), nothing with a contemporary setting. That and mystery novels set in and around London. Interesting choices, Steph. The Wasteland is a classic.
