travel writing get some love on the manic, impatient, impulsive internets.
Today, Longreads, the website that curates longer stories with excerpts and

Orlean piece on Bangkok's Khao San Road, an Ernest Hemingway dispatch from
the Spanish Civil War and a John Jeremiah Sullivan article about Disney

Legal Nomads is contributing her curatorial powers to the operation. Readers
can suggest stories to include via Twitter, posting links with the hashtag
#travelreads. The site defines a "longread" as something typically more
than 1,500 words. World Hum
