When I was staying at my hostel in Amsterdam, I remember exchanging a book I had bought called “This Book will Save Your Life” for “Memoirs of a Geisha” with one of my hostel-mates. Also, when I got to France, I gave a Brandeis student suffering from bronchial congestion a package of Zithromax, and I shared rolling tobacco with a Greek IT consultant. Little things like this make traveling ultimately worthwhile. I still haven’t read “Memoirs” but I liked the idea of barter with a fellow traveler.

Um, I think the Jodi Picoult, “The Tenth Circle” is actually a lifetime movie. (:
Don’t take my word for it though.

Go for The Brightest Flame. It has a brightly-colored cover.

Give Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance a chance. It has some things to say you won’t find elsewhere. There’s a reason other people are reading it. When you’re done and leave it at a hostel, the next person to pick it up will touch a live wire to 1975.

The book on media theory would be an ironic choice given the nature of your trip. Glad things seem to be going well for you so far. Anyway, an unrelated article about a tech-related journey that’s pretty cool:
