Book Suggestions

[chasingtides]

I will be spending an absurd amount of time this coming weekend in transit. My iPod is still MIA. (Don't even ask. It's not worth it. I'm just going to be Nova Scotian this weekend.)

However, I want to get a travel book, for the times when I'm not driving or writing my Big Bangs. This is a book suggestion post. Tell me what book I should read this weekend.

I'm a big Oliver Sacks fan. Also, Michael Cunningham (except for specimen days) and Nick Hornby. Franny and Zooey (I hadn't read it until last year. I don't take lit anymore.) The Remains of the Day. Saturday. For sci-fi, Octavia Butler's the Parable of the Talents is really good. I'd imagine that the Parable of the Sower is too. The Center Cannot Hold, if you're into mental illness memoirs. On the more academic side, Exile and Pride.
