Hi I am going travelling for a few months soon and am trying to decide what books to take to keep me occupied through the many long bus journeys ahead. I am not a fan of science-fiction or horror. I can put up with a crime, as long as it is well written. I would like:

1. A Long Classic - one of those whoppers you never usually have time to read.
2. A Classic
3. A Memoir/Autobiography
4. Non-Fiction - something political/ philosophical/ theoretical, a “makes you think” book.
5. Light-Reading - a good old indulgent romance book.
6. A Modern Classic - a good page-turner.
7. Something Topical - I am mostly travelling in Eastern/Central Africa, so an African fiction should make the list.
8. A Play
9. Something Different - something creative and out of the ordinary.
10. The One Everyone Should Read - out of everything you’ve ever read, the one you would recommend the highest, whether it be the most affecting, emotional or simply enjoyable.
