Books!

I am planning on writing up a workout post, and I probably will this afternoon, but I want to get this particular post out there before I forget:

I am going on a long trip soon.
I would like some book recs, things that I can pick up at the library this weekend.
Although I'm not going to say "no" to SRS LITRATUR, I will be perfectly happy with a list of "brain candy" books - fun to read, possibly literarily worthless, but enjoyable and interesting and perhaps a little brain-numbing (as I may or may not be drunk while reading them).

So! Please smother me with book recs, people. Give me your top-three "Beach Vacation Book Recommendations".

It's like a meme! Only cooler.
