Thanks to Chris Wilson for this gem.
There isn't all that much beyond the necessities that we'll be carrying along the way. However, where we can spice up the load is in our reading choices. For the bookworms among us this is a pretty important decision, there are many books that we'd like to read or that have been recommended to us. Unfortunately, or fortunately, there's not too much space left in the pack for reading material -- but I think I've finalized the list...
L&C - thought this was rather appropriate, perhaps we'll even cross over their route.
Proust - Tedde Roosevelt read Anna Karenina on one of his outback treks, thought I'd pack a foreigner to provide a small refuge against the Americana.
Roosevelt - Naturally.
Math - Something to help me sleep at night.
And then Ryan and Joe may be bringing items themselves, I haven't spoken with Ryan about it yet but I am definitely excited to swap of the above for a bit of what Joe's carting
Daunting as this list is, it was worse until someone mentioned I should drop something. That something ended up being the Econometrics. Ugh, glad that isn't in there anymore.
What books would you bring along?

In the interest of being fair and legitimate, as if I were also on this bike trail, I will limit myself to four books, too.
ReplyDeleteMiles, The Autobiography - Miles Davis
Hope Dies Last - Studs Terkel
Too Loud a Solitude - Bohumil Hrabal
Naked Pictures of Famous People - Jon Stewart
Keep truckin -- hope the fog has cleared up! Don't forget to use the local fire stations for a quick shower!
