You can carry whatever you want to. The OP should consider whether he is
really going to have enough time to read on the trail. He is going to
spend a lot more of his time carrying those books than reading them. If
he thinks it is worth carrying the weight of several books, he should go
for it. But he really needs to think about whether he will actually have
time to read them.
