Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino
4.0

The cities described in this book are imaginary and don't make any sense, but those with a true traveler's mindset will understand the ideas behind them. There is a higher purpose to traveling, greater than simply seeing new things and "exploring" for the sake of exploring. When we travel, we have the opportunity to examine how people live and compare that to ourselves, and this book discreetly urges us to live like a traveler within our own lives.
