Words> Partial reading list for my RTW trip
The below list of 10 books includes classics most of which I've never read. They should be easy enough to get my hands on anywhere where books in English are sold (airports will be a good place to turn over the 2-book library I aim to carry). I may grab Silmarillion first, just to be on the safe side. I know it's not exactly a top 100-novel, but I want to catch up on my Middle-Earth lore. And Shantaram just intrigues me, being a travel story.
William Faulkner: The Sound and the Fury
Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita
John Steinbeck: The Grapes of Wrath
E. M. Foster: A Passage to India
William Golding: Lord of the Flies
Henry Miller: Tropic of Cancer
J. D. Salinger: The Catcher in the Rye
William S. Burroughs: Naked Lunch
J.R.R. Tolkien: Silmarillion
Gregory David Roberts: Shantaram

It's been pointed out to me that I've composed quite a male-biased reading list. This was not my intention, but now that I reflect upon the result, I better add Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway in there. And only because of the magical opening sentence.
