Hiking the Andes or island hopping in the Indies? No matter where you are or how great your fellow travelers are, the time will come when all you crave is to curl up in silence and relax with a good book in hand.
Books are hardly the first object you’d think of when trying to pack as little as possible. But when traveling for weeks and months at time, a good book can be worth its weight in gold.
Books are expensive and even more so where English books are especially imported to accommodate the rich tourists. If buying a new book each time you’ve finished the last one isn’t in your budget, you’ll be delighted to hear that a lively and unofficial trading market exists between book hungry travelers around the world. All you have to do is to bring up the subject of what you’ve just read and you´ll be amazed to discover just how quickly your old book becomes a new one.
