Just for fun, picture yourself sitting in the living room at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia, walking the halls of William Faulkner’s Rowan Oak in Oxford, Missouri or maybe staying in Truman Capote’s apartment in Brooklyn, NY.  If you are fan of both literature and travel, then Flavorwire’s post on 50 Places Every Literary Fans Should Visit (July 2013) is for you.
