I'm visiting a few cities across Europe soon and I'm looking for a good book to read while I'm there. I thought about The Canterbury Tales (since it's travel-related and I'll be in Canterbury a day or so) but it's English as heck and hence won't work once I'm out of the UK. Any suggestions?
please respond ;_;

Any book will do, y'know. As long as it entertains you... Just pick up anything that you find interesting but isn't too heavy to read. If you are travelling, you'll only read while resting so keep that in mind.
European romantics feature a whole bunch of dicking around in the countryside
Goethe's Wilhelm Meister (both, IIRC)
Le Grand Meaulnes
Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts
etc.

Not OP but I'm also going through Europe, next week I'm going to France and Spain and I was bringing some books with me considering it'll be an extended stay. I was thinking of the following since I'm limiting myself to seven books.
Infinite Jest
Life and Fate
Origin of the Species/Voyage of the Beagle
Don Quixote
Parade's End
French Lieutenant's Woman
Last choice is either going to be The Magic Mountain or Ulysses.

Fuck it, I'll bring America by Kafka along with Skylark since they are both pretty short too.
Read The Way of the World by Bouvier and regret you're going in overrated western europe shit cities that are all basically the same instead of the balkans.

Major cities in the balkans are also basically the same from the right point of view
What a meaningless notion
