I read The Diary of a Young Girl in Amsterdam the night before going to the Anne Frank house and The Shadow of the Wind in BarcelonaFor S+L books, Altered Carbon has large sections that take place in a non-recognizable Mission District in SF where I live
^^ Wizard of the Pigeons is set in Seattle and is awesome. An unreliable narrator who is plausibly either a wizard under restrictions, or maybe just a homeless guy with delusions. The Schrodinger's box remains tantalizingly closed for most of the book.

Hopefully when I'm in Kourou for my next launch (not until 2020) I'll finally get to go...
I will remember not to read Papillon simultaneously (but it's been on my "to read" list since my first trip to French Guiana). ;)
