It is always a treat to find a good island read. Islomania: A Journey Among the Last Real Islands, written by notable travel writer Thurston Clarke is the story about his personal obsessession with islands or islomania. This book is a kind of love letter to these little (and sometimes not so little) worlds surrounded by sea.

Beginning with the accepted model for Robinson Crusoe’s remote abode, Mas a Tierra in the Pacific, Clarke takes the reader on a tour of his favorite islands, exploring their geography, history and culture. Extending from Jura where George Orwell’s wrote ‘1984′, to the beautiful Maldives. The book takes the reader to some of the most curious, evocative and exotic places in the world.
