Propellor head is a great book covering the journey and the pain and joy to be had from getting a licence.
Theres another book Flight of Passage by Rinker Buck about two boys crossing america in a Cub they built themselves at the age of 16. Very inspiring book.
I loved Fate is the Hunter (but maybe a little hard core). I especially remember him landing a DC3? in IMC with the captain lighting matches in front of his face to improve his concentration.
I never got on with Richard Bachs stuff.
A book I enjoyed years ago was Chuck Yeagers biography 'Yeager'.
Non of these are about delightful touring in relaxed comfort though. More camping on a motorbike and back to roots style.
