 Best book for a LONG car ride
Alright, I'm going to Massachussetts soon (5 hours from where I am) and I was wondering what the best book for this long trip would be? I was just going to look through the Best Book thread but there are too many and I don't have time to look through all the books to see if I'd like them.
So what do you think? I'm not looking for some huge book, maybe 400 pages at the most. A novel, a short stories, a collection of shorts, whatever. What's the best?

The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair. Truly a wonderful, yet disturbing, work of art.

Re: Best book for a LONG car ride
Thanks for the suggestions. I couldn't find The Jungle though. I'll check the other library.

Empire Of The Sun - JG Ballard.
A touching book on a boy living in china when war struck him and his surroundings.
