Finding Books . . . In Europe, English books are expensive and hard to find. The best thing to do is trade your books with other backpackers. These highly traded goods travel up and down the continent in backpacks, the dog-eared pages smeared with pasta sauce, strussil, and jamon iberico, the precious english words devoured by the many budget readers hungry for inspiration. Popular backpacker books are usually novels set in europe, like The Talented Mr Ripley, or anything from Hemingway or Henry Miller. Other books are inspirational, books like Anne Frank's Diary or Schindler's List. Here's a list of what I've read since I've been out here. Some of these books are probably still out there, traveling the backpacker circuit, and I hope they will until the pages fall out. 1. Tales of South Pacific, by James Michener. Bought in Brighton. 2. Kane and Able, by Jeffrey Archer. Traded "South Pacific" for this is Bordeaux. 3. Schindlers List, Joseph Kinneally. Bought in English bookstore in Madrid. 4. Murder on the Orient Express Agathe Criste. Swapped "Schindlers List" for it in Lagos. 5. Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. Traded "Murder" in Paris. 6. On Writing, Stephen King. Bought in Paris 7. Barbary Shore, Norman Mailer. Bought in Florence. 8. The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Heminway, traded "barbary shore" on the train to Interlaken. 9. The Beach, Alex Garland, traded hemingway at hostel in Interlaken. 10. The Brethern, John Grishman, traded "the beach" at hostel in Munich. 11. Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis. A gift. 12. Shopgirl, Steve Martin. Bought in London for Plane Ride Home |
