Help, please.

I'm leaving for Sweden on Thursday, which means that I need a lot of reading material.

Any suggestions? I'm not picky with genres, so give me your best shot.

Agatha Christie

1984

Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is good.

Maybe also read A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick.

Any Dashiell Hammett.

I like James Patterson too.

Read Fight Club or A Clockwork Orange!

I've read 1984 an A Clockwork Orange.

:-) Thanks.

The only Dashiell Hammett I've read is The Maltese Falcon, which I followed with The Big Sleep which was very similar, genre-wise, but much better. You should read it, if you haven't.

Slaughterhouse-Five (!!!)

Good Omens

The Big Sleep (!!!)

The Maltese Falcon

Um. I need reading suggestions too, as I'm leaving for 2 weeks with only parents and grandparents. Guess I'll post my own.
