Which book should I bring on my roadtrip this weekend?

I'm going to be stuck in a car for many, many hours. Which of these books should I bring with me? I'm very indecisive. If you've read one or any of them, was it (they) any good?

 

All your drugs. And me.

I always reccomend Kurt Vonnegut books to people. Mostly it's sarcastic but in this case you might enjoy it

 

edit: oops nvm.

 

omnivores dilemma. Changed my life!

 

I've read Confessions of St Augustine and Jude the obscure - loved them both.

 

I'm sorry but I can't help you on that one. I have the hardest time staying interested in a book. The only books I have ever been able to finish are Stephen King books or biographies ( Anthony Keidis and Janis Joplin)

 

Many Steinbeck
Franz Kafka
other D.H Lawrence titles - I really enjoyed Sons and Lovers
Never been a huge fan of Hemingway's writing style
Edgar Allan Poe
Tons of poetry
Tons of philosophy (not really roadtrip material imo)
Nietzsche
Don't care for Kerouac
I can't think of them all right now

 

I was slightly leaning towards Jude the Obscure. It sounds really interesting.

 

I am a huge Steinbeck fan so I would probably go with Sweet Thursday.

 

this thread makes me car sick..


i don't know.. haven't read any of them.

 

penthouse.

 

I tried to read a couple of those books but I became nauseous

I do however recommend:

Hunters of Dune by Brian Herbert
Sandworms of Dune by Brian Herbert
Paul of Dune by Brian Herbert


Notice a theme going on here; the greatest sci-fi epic of all-time

A tip sheet from the local racetrack, the owner's manual for your car, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or do a search for "roadside art."

 

I think you should write your own book

 

How would you describe it?

If it's not too wordy or sentimental, I would take D.H. Lawrence. Otherwise, Hemingway. I would need a description of Thomas Hardy's before making a decision about it.

I like books that are succinct, humorous, and practical.

On my to-buy list now:

Stendhal, Memoirs of an Egotist and Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer. Also, Bachae and Frogs by Euripides and Aristophanes.
