Are You Experienced? by William Sutcliffe, Paperback
It’s a book that makes reality feel mythic and myth feel painfully real.
Read it once, and you’ll start seeing magic in every mundane moment. A modern classic about tradition
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
Wonderful prose and some insights about a (well supported from others) trial simple life in the woods. Lots of learnings and yearnings.
Walden
Show that to your later teachers and old folks that always want to ban any new technology and how it destroys brains. Loved it.
Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter|Paperback
This is unusual and I can only advice you to dive into this great debut of a very talented writer. The topic is tragic but it is how to continue life and deal with it. So much to learn from this book.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close|Paperback
You know the series on the tv? Read the great science fiction book. It keeps you reading on the beach and miss all the drinks, but you are in SPACE!
Leviathan Wakes (Expanse Series #1)|Paperback
A long forgotten, beautiful fantasy saga of fantastic and lovable characters. Easy to read and get into. This is the first book of the series. A classic in fantasy literature and a first step into the dragonlance world. Best travel novel, not heavy.
Dragonlance - Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Chronicles #1)|eBook

Such a fun read of a bit of slackers/losers searching for their way in life. Easy to do in one vacation
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
Vacation is the best time to think about work and improving your life back at home. This is not a silly self help book. This is a proven concept of little habit changes that really work.
