The Beach is an excellent choice (already suggested in the first comment, but I wanted to second it). Travels by Michael Crichton has a few chapters set in Asian countries.
Reading that section was like discovering that Michael Crichton believed in psychics.
Travels by Michael Crichton.
He is my favorite author but this isn't a novel, its more of an autobiography that teaches some great life lessons. My favorite part is when he decides to investigate the "supernatural." Because even though he is a skeptic, he keeps his mind open to possibilities. As a young man, this really helped me keep an open mind.
Also, a multi-tool (or pocket knife). Although expensive, a must-have for any man. I have the Swisstool.
My favorite book of all time is Travels by Michael Crichton. It's his autobiography and it's amazing. I've read it at least 5 times and had to re-buy it twice, because people borrow it and never return it (that's how I got my first copy... so, karma?).
i took a 4-month trip from SF to Osaka...only flew once from NY to London...it was a great trip...plus moths here and there in about 45 countries...highly recommended...
some other good books
There is a marvelous chapter in "Travels", Michael Crichton's autobiography where he talks about treating a beautiful woman who was a nymphomaniac (I know, horrible problem for a guy, right?). She would literally hit on everything- Crichton, other doctors... She stayed with a married minister and ended up fucking his brains out. She was a homewrecking force of nature.
And that's exactly the problem. When your interest in something is so great that it leaves wreckage behind you... it's gone too far.
Needless to say, I still would have loved to meet this woman.
