I'm going to Taiwan on Friday for 3 days....pretty skint plus have to pay for a multiple re-entry visa. I want to get the fullest experience possible but with such a limited time I feel, in an obvious way, that I need a guide book. Don't wanna pay though! Could I borrow somebody's for a few days? I'll come to wherever they want and pick it up, in exchange I could lend them one of my books so they know I'm gonna return the guide.

Here is my list:

Graphic Novels:
V for vendetta
Watchmen

Fiction
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
The liar - Stephen Fry (English comedian)
Trainspotting, the acid house, maraboustork, nightmares - Irvine Welsh
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
Naked lunch - William Burroughs
The hundred & twenty days of sodom - The marquis de sade
[b]The house of sleep - Jonathan Coe[/b]

Other:
Globalization and its discontents - Joseph Stiglitz
Stalin: The court of the red Tsar - Simon Sebag Montefiore
The emperor's new mind - Roger Penrose
Does God play dice (the new mathematics of chaos - Ian Stewart
Freakonomics - Steven D.Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner
Godel, escher, bach: an eternal golden braid - Douglas R. Hofstadter
A question of economics - Peter Donaldson
Beast & man (The roots of human nature - May Mingley
Russia: The USSR, the CIS and the independent states - Peter Neville

If you don't know the title, amazon it.

Thanks

A location would be helpful. You could borrow mine, but I live in Incheon.

The information desk at the Taipei train station I remember giving me a free tourist book and if you are not going for a long time, you would find it useful.
