Leaving on 10 day boat trip and need help picking books
Hello everyone this is my first post because I just found all of you great people. I have spent the last few days reading topics spread out over the last few years. I love what you guys have to say so i figured I would ask a question to start off my new home.
I coach soccer for a U16 team. One of my players parents owns a big boat and are taking a group of us down to the caribbean in a couple of days. I will be gone for 10 days and I need a few good books. I would like a few suggestions by thursday at noon so i can stop by the library and bookstore and pick up a few things.
I would like it to be somewhat light...who would want to read Ulysses on a boat in the caribbean.
Things i have read in the past. A lot of pulitzer prize books, a lot of mystery (crichton, Grisham, Cussler, Demille), Reading right now the Hobbit, a heartbreaking work...(by eggers) , 1984, and just finished Slaughterhouse 5
Ok...now that you have a little background, i am open to great suggestions, but make sure you get them in fast this ship sails on Thursday evening
