Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr.

Now fiction. It's short because when I think of road trip books [that I've broadened to travel accounts by any means] I do think in terms of someone traveling to real places by real means. Otherwise most science fiction and fantasy books might qualify.

A Passage to India by E.M. Forster

I have read all of these. Some I selected myself. Some were recommended by others or a choice of a book club, including the two running at this site. Some I liked, Some I didn't, but that should not necessarily deter you as some have high Goodread ratings or were enjoyed by others.

Thanks Hamlet. I agree that road trip can be broadly interpreted as a long journey of any kind - doesn't have to be a car. I guess it's about a journey with no fixed destination, or at least a route that could deviate on a whim, depending on what and who you encounter on the way.
