It's not really a planning book, more of a collection of eye-opening
literature, but it's great for revealing the "other" side of travel.
The side you don't often hear about. It's called Bad Trips, edited by
Keath Fraser, and published by Vintage Books, 1991. (ISBN
0-679-72908-9)

With selections by 50 different writers, from David Mamet to Umberto
Eco, Bob Geldof, John Updike, Graham Greene, J. M. Coetzee, and
Wilfred Thesiger, it's an amazing compendium of what can go wrong on a
trip. There are lessons to be learned about how to avoid certain
pitfalls, and how (or how not) to deal with them when they arrive, but
often its greatest value is is reassuring us that no matter how bad
things may get, it can't be as bad as what some of these people went
through.
