Default holiday reading

ok i know alot of you tend to party all day and such while down there,

but at least one day i like to just sit with a book in the sun kinda recharge. its also good for some down time in the room waiting for others to get ready or to just take a break from the sun..and such as well as airport and the plane.

does anyone have any reconmendations for a good holiday read?

i always bring a couple of magazines for the journey as well..but im always looking for a good book maybe by chance others are as well.

yes...i like too well i try too

my first year i brought rachel's holiday with me thinking it woudl be a good holiday read. ppfftt was i wrong. it was about some girl going to rehab.

im just finishing a book now (will be done this weekend) and no doubt i'll get another one in before i go. so i/d like to start something fresh for the trip. but nothing too heavy. i boguht my friend leonard as well so imight read that next. but its kinda a hard read with the way that guy writes. i prefer a bit of fluff for holiday. whichi have at home, but they are hard covers and id ont really want to travel with that

I always take books on holiday.

This year I'm taking a couple of 'Breaking Vegas' because i'm going there in October and I'm going to kid myself into thinking I'll win a fortune!

Very very good book that explores life's lessons as seen through a father and son on a motorcycle trip. Not just a guys book either, my fiance is reading it right now and she is in love with the book.

I would highly recommend Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler.

Very interesting read about the ideas he had before he took power. Plus its a great way to meet people with common interests.

Don't forget the Red Treasure Book by Chairman Mao Zedong, whose Cultural Revolution swept many off their feet.

How about Machiavelli's "The Prince", Marx's "Communist Manifesto", Plato's "Republic". A nice cross-section of philosophy to peruse.

If you party hard enough you can write your own book for others to read.
