Helpl Me Compose a Vacation Reading List

Cafe Society

On November 28th I board the Carnival Liberty for seven days of drinking and… stuff. Mostly drinking. And maybe a little reading on the deck.

I’ll read just about anything - fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, biographies, you name it. I’d prefer something not too dense, however (so a tome of Antonin Scalia’s ruminations on Supreme Court proceedings would be out). I do loves me some horror, comedy, and sci-fi/fantasy.

So far I’m planning on tackling:

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole (I’ve never read it! An article on cracked.com said it’s the funniest book ever written, so…)

John Dies at the End by David Wong

Any other recommendations?

Since you’re not leaving until the 28th and since you like horror, why not pick up Stephen King’s new book, Under the Dome? It’ll be out on 11/15, and Wal-Mart and Target (and Amazon) are selling it for $9. It’s about 1100 pages so it might last through the whole cruise.

It’d probably also be a conversation starter, if that’s something you’d like on a vacation. Just about everyone has read King and will have an opinion.
