Along with The Life of Pi. Both good but not worth re-reading at every single stop. Also Howard Marks’ Mr. Nice seemed pretty ubiquitous in SE Asia when I was there. Along with The Life of Pi.

I read it on a flight from Chicago to Seoul, throughout the week in Korea and finished it on my way back to the U.S. Had I not read it that way, I don't know if I would like it as much as I do.

I love Marquez & Hundred Years of Solitude as well, but I'm with you—it took me a few tries before I didn't feel lost. Great round-up of books!

Fortunately, I've met others who say the same. And you! I always feel kinda dumb or that I’m missing something because I didn’t fall in love with “100 Years…”

One other thing I can't seem to find enough of is guidebooks to Peru. Why Peru? I'm talking...in Thailand I find them. I agree about the Dan Brown.

You forgot the Dan Brown novel though- often in several languages. They should definately be removed! Nice piece. You forgot the Dan Brown novel though- often in several languages.
