[pct-l] Re: [BackpackingLight] Heavy Reads

[palefrei at yahoo.com (Palefrei)]

I've been reading a lot of the Penguin Classics. I'm near
OSU campus and two Half-Price books, so I can usually find
them in the bargain bin for a dime or quarter. Cheap enough
I don't mind using the pages for kindling or notes or TP in
a pinch.

I just finished "The Life of Ivan Denisovich"  by Alexander
Solzhenitsyn, I've got other classics lined up like Dante,
Virgil and Homer...

A lot of the classics give me a good underpinning in
western thought and philosophy.
