I'm pretty sure the cell won't be available either. However, I'm looking forward to no internet. I just want to make sure I have books to read if I do have free time.

you are absolutely correct. i think we are too hooked up these days that people can't seem to put their blackberries down.

i suggest a camera with lots of memory, a few magazines and one of the hemindways.

Excellent book, as well as Satanic Verses.

Also try:

Snow Crash
Love in the Time of Cholera
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (the movie is not even close)
Demian

Some of the Clive Cussler's Dirk and Albert series are quite amazing, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy of 5. Just a note on the Cussler novels, there is a lot of them but they don't have to be read in order unless you want to.

Child of the prenet age lol, books were our interent Used to be a voracious reader, probably read 1k or more books in my life. I can usually crank through @ 100 pages an hour , depending on the material and my level of interest/immersion.

Have a ton of suggestions but I will just toss out 2 that I remember enjoying very much.

http://www.amazon.com/Into-Out...n-Foster/dp/1587150476

Read that @ 20 years ago, not much of a fantasy fanatic but that book was unbelievable. The end was a bit of a letdown, but only because the rest of the book is so compelling & well written. Still sticks out in my mind after all those years/books.

Enjoy the DaVinci Code? Try this:

http://www.amazon.com/Angels-D...&qid=1216485891&sr=1-1

Read that within the past year, outstanding. Anyone with strong opinions/feelings about science/religion should read this book, it may cause you to view things in a new perspective.

Pitting scientific terrorists against the cardinals of Vatican City, this well-plotted if over-the-top thriller is crammed with Vatican intrigue and high-tech drama. Robert Langdon, a Harvard specialist on religious symbolism, is called in by a Swiss research lab when Dr. Vetra, the scientist who discovered antimatter, is found murdered with the cryptic word "Illuminati" branded on his chest. These Iluminati were a group of Renaissance scientists, including Galileo, who met secretly in Rome to discuss new ideas in safety from papal threat; what the long-defunct association has to do with Dr. Vetra's death is far from clear. Vetra's daughter, Vittoria, makes a frightening discovery: a lethal amount of antimatter, sealed in a vacuum flask that will explode in six hours unless its batteries are recharged, is missing. Almost immediately, the Swiss Guard discover that the flask is hidden beneath Vatican City, where the conclave to elect a new pope has just begun. Vittoria and Langdon rush to recover the canister, but they aren't allowed into the Vatican until it is discovered that the four principal papal candidates are missing. The terrorists who are holding the cardinals call in regarding their pending murders, offering clues tied to ancient Illuminati meeting sites and runes. Meanwhile, it becomes clear that a sinister Vatican entity with messianic delusions is in league with the terrorists. Packing the novel with sinister figures worthy of a Medici, Brown (Digital Fortress) sets an explosive pace as Langdon and Vittoria race through a Michelin-perfect Rome to try to save the cardinals and find the antimatter before it explodes. Though its premises strain credulity, Brown's tale is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up to the last revelation.

Damn, just barely beat me to it. Just make you you get the unabridged version. Most copies you'll see in bookstores are the abridged ones that have been cut down from the original 1,000+ pages to 400 to cater to students writing book reports and such.

One of my favs as a child, great suggestion....

If you haven't read it yet, The Princess Bride (yep, the one on which the movie was based) is an AWESOME book; even wittier than the film. Great Expectations, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Three Muskateers are all also good reads.

 

[ModerateRepZero]

if you're the least bit interested in investing, The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham (I recommend the updated version with Jason Zweig commentary).
