Author: Richard Branson&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an autobiography by Richard Branson of Virgin Records and Virgin Atlantic.  He is also famous for attempting to balloon around the world.  I like his optimistic approach to new ventures.&lt;/p&gt;

Author: Arundhati Roy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whatever you may think of her opinions, she is hard to put down.  Although some of her questions are rhetorical and occasionally she gets a cheap shot in, her ease of covering the breadth of modernity and the connections between different parts of the world is striking.&lt;/p&gt;

Author:Howard Marks&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The story of how a nice Oxford grad became an international hashish dealer by asking friends and family to do odd jobs such as air-shipping hashish from Pakistan to England.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Engrossing.  Fascinating. Amazing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I read this book in Manali in Himachal Pradesh in July 2006.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Someone was throwing this book out at a guesthouse in Vashisht, Himachal Pradesh.  Fifty pages into the book, I understood why.&lt;/p&gt;

Author: Douglas Adams&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I picked this book up in March 2006 in Goa.  The edition I read is actually the first four books in the series.  (The link above is six books).  I had read them many years ago and they served as a fantastic escape from whatever I was doing in my life.  I thought it was appropriate to read this book at the beginning of my trip and get me in the travel mood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the road you can find a lot of books oriented toward travelers.  You tend to see the same titles over and over again.  Pirated copies are available on the street for a couple of bucks.  The larger bookstores have many titles.&lt;/p&gt;
