The following is a list of books that I have personally purchased and read. There are many more if you search for them. Most are available at your local bookstore or via Amazon.
Memoirs/Novels
Boers, Paul – The Way is Made by Walking – I just purchased this – not able to give a comment at this time.
Christmas, Jane – What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim – a humourous look at a midlife misadventure on the Camino.
Choquette, Sonya – Walking Home: A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed – excellent read
Kerkeling, Hape – I’m Off Then – the German humourist who inspired thousands of Germans to walk the Camino
Maclean, Shirley – The Camino – The classic from many years back
Paolo Coehlo – The Pilgrimage – A very powerful book
Guidebooks
Brierley, John – A Guidebook to the Camino Santiago – probably the most popular English language guidebook.
Brierley, John – A Pilgrim’s Guide to the Camino Portugues
Dintaman, Anna and Landis, David – Hiking the Camino de Santiago – a great option to the Brierley guidebook although harder to source.
Perazzoli, Laura and Whitson, Dave – The Northern Caminos
Other
Cousineau, Phil – The Art of Pilgrimage –In my mind a must have for anyone wanting a transformational journey.
