Literary vacation ideas from five classic novels

CHICAGO - The summer's drawing to a close, and you still have one thing left to do: vacation! There are so many places you could go, from Barcelona to Disney World. But you, being a literary nerd, might want to go to a place with a story - literally! We know there are plenty more amazing places with literary history, but here are five that will transform these last days of summer into classics.

The Hamptons, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Sadly, East Egg and West Egg don't exist, so we'll have to settle for the Hamptons. Sure, you probably won't see parties as extravagant and crazy as Gatsby's, but you will see big huge affluent houses, only the best restaurants and boutiques, and who can forget the beautiful beach? See what attracted Gatsby to this lovely corner of Long Island (you know, other than the green light across the bay).
