I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is an excellent choice.

This is BY FAR the best option. I bought this a couple days ago and CANNOT put it down. It is one the funniest thing I have ever read.

Go buy it..."I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" by Tucker Max.

I guarantee you will be satisfied. Enjoy.

"Roughing It" or any other travel book by Mark Twain. I recommend Huck Finn as well.

Check out Paul Theroux - chances are he's produced incisive and sardonic travel writing about the region you're visiting.

You can try Infinite Jest, it will teach you about juniors tenis and some pharmacolgy.

I'm currently trying to get into this, about 150 pages in.


Part of me wants to just wrap it in C4 and blow it to a million pieces.

I think it's worth the pain and hardship, I think it's a fantastic work. For a long time after I read it I gave up the notion of writing the Great American Novel because Wallace [censored] blows the doors off anything I could ever hope to write. In retrospect, though, we just write differently. But the guy has to be a goddamn genius to write that book, has to be.

I'm rereading IJ right now. It rereads extremely well. Excellent desert-island book. (Knowing so much about the world and where things are/aren't going amplifies the pathos so much.)

Infinite Jest FTW, based off of OP's criteria of having a lot of time to read it.

Good to know it rereads well by the way. I've nibbled at it a time or two since, still trying to understand the ending. Spoiler: <font color="white">they say the ending is actually somewhere in the beginning, but I've been too lazy to slog back through it or research it online.</font>
