Books about quests and journeys
Stories built around a journey with a goal: a ring to destroy, a treasure to reclaim, a question that can only be answered far from home. The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are the models for the fantasy quest, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sends its heroes on the road, and Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove turns a cattle drive into an epic. The road changes those who walk it.
