Nah, I'm currently writing a research paper on Marx, so I long to read something light-hearted and fun

Take your time as it is a mathematical equation.

I would take the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It's a bit short but I could read it every day.

I did'nt know you read Greek Benny.

As for a book, well if I was certain that I would have access to electricity, I would bring a notebook with me and if not, as I would be trekking, it would have to be an atlas or tourist guide with maps of where I was travelling through. James Joyce is all find and good, but Ulysses is f**k all use when you don't want to lose your way.

Something by P.J. O' Rourke, All the Trouble in the World perhaps, or Holidays in Hell.

Man after my own heart Benin!! If I were stuck on a desert island, I'd be so frustrated that the last thing I'd want to do is read!!
