[pct-l] Reading material & Pack Weight

[scrookham at hotmail.com (Sean Crookham)]

Thank you all for your suggestions, I'll definitely go pick those books up. 
Is there a list or forum of names for 2004 "gonnabe's?"

I was also curious as to public opinion on pack weight. It would seem that a 
large number of thru-hikers are pro lightweight. I'm thinking of keeping my 
weight under 40lbs max (that's loaded with water) I do plan on carrying a 
tent through most portions of the trail. Does anyone have any suggestions on 
lightweight tents that actually work well in rainy conditions? I currently 
use a North Face Nebula tent whcih I love for it's functionality and 
pitching options. Unfortunately, this tent weighs about 9lbs which I think 
is a tad heavy for a thru-hike.
