THIS IS NOT A FAVOURITE THREAD!
I wanted you guys to give me some advice- in about a week I'm off to USA and I wanted to bring aboard some good books. What would you recommend to me, based on my (i guess faggish, but this is 4chan) favourites?

Well based on your tastes you will probably end up on your Nintendo DS one chapter in. But assuming you do read it, you probably won't finish in time to read another book by the time the plane lands. But I will play along (not really paying attention to your tastes just recommending some shit...)

"Melmoth the Wanderer" by C.R. Maturin. Great Gothic era horror story about a guy who sells who soul for immortality and travels the earth for centuries trying to find someone to take his place and release him from his wandering.

"Looking Backward 2000-1887" by Edward Bellamy. A Utopian novel in which a Man living in Boston in 1887 falls into a deep hypnotic sleep and wakes up in the year 2000, America has been turned into a centralized democratic society in which "everything is controlled by a humane and efficient state."

"A Time of Gifts" by Fermor. An 18 year old walks from England to Constantinople. He covers a good deal of Europe in his travels and at 350 pages it isn't too laborious of a novel.

Check the pic I uploaded for more good "Travel Lit".
