From Constant Reader came an idea for one of my 'reading is all over the place' blog posts ... reading that really is all over the place! So, I offer the following.

I wish I had my own copy of the Brigadoon libretto as this is the version I like. It is a wonderful stage play by Lerner and Lowe about a small Scottish village that appears once every 100 years. There is a movie version out, but it pales against the stage version so get that soundtrack which includes songs that were not (but should have been) in the movie.

Camelot is a bit easier to find than Brigadoon.;-) There is the libretto for the musical which I've read, (and like Brigadoon is hard to find now) but there are lots of other books about King Arthur, too. These are ones I've read and enjoyed: The Once and Future King, by T.H. White; The Mists of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and the trilogy by Mary Stewart starting with The Crystal Cave. You might consider books on the Kennedy Administration, too (although I've not read any of these).

Then there's Pern, a favorite destination of mine! You'll find many of these books, by Anne McCaffrey in the May 20, 2014 post.

I first met the telepathic Flinx and his venomous mini-dragon Pip in Orphan Star, by Alan Dean Foster. It was set on the planet Moth, but Flinx and Pip wander all over the universe in this series. Start with For Love of Mother-Not. Slow to anger, but deadly when they finally attack there are times when I would have appreciated a mini-dragon on my shoulder. :-)

And of course, Dune and the sequels, by Frank Herbert. Even after all these years (decades, actually) I still think about this arid planet when I'm running the water!

For information on oh, so very many places there's The Dictionary of Imaginary Places (newly updated and expanded), by Alberto Manguel & Gianni Guadalupi. A lot of fun to browse, stop and read, and then move on, but I was disappointed that Pern was not included.

Then, there are the non-fiction sort of 'all over' books:

There are 'fake' towns, designed to fool enemy pilots in a war, cities in cemeteries (with permission), gutterspace (that tiny space between buildings), floating islands of plastic garbage, Stacey's Lane (my favorite) and more all in Unruly Places: Lost Spaces, Secret Cities, and Other Inscrutable Geographies, by Alastair Bonnett. Most of these are not travel destinations, but what an interesting read!

The hard part here is where to stop! Why not head out on your own 'all over the place' trail! :-)
