    So Spring Break for my Uni is coming up in a few weeks and I need to start prepping for my camping trip I'm going to take now. The most important thing I need are books to read. I need books that have a physical copy available to purchase online like on Amazon because I will not be able to use electronics much because it will be below freezing where I am going so that is why I need physical books to read. It can be written in English or a translated book, but I just need to be able to buy a physical copy of such book. So any recommendations for me? Feel free to look at my reading list.
    Edit: to make this easier, how about books with magic in them like Irregular at Magic High School or maybe some book you were required to read in high school that you actually ended up enjoying?

    the wheel of time and sword of truth series are pretty good. if you're after a light novel collection, Spice and Wolf is nice, as well. for something silly, i think the bathrobe knight has a physical edition, but i can't recall how far it got or if it kept going after volume 3.

    Artemis Fowl is the last western fantasy series I remember reading. It was quite enjoyable. Give it a try.

    audio books you fucking moron, god people are so dumb these days (please don't ban me)
    but you can just find something that's in your preferred language and has a download feature.

    I did mention I can't use electronic devices too much because it will be in below freezing weather and I'm in a cheap tent, not a heated cabin or anything fancy... I won't even be bring my laptop or tablet because there will be nowhere to charge them and one solar powered charger is only enough for my lantern and phone.

    Camping in winter? Are you perhaps a masochist?

    I particularly enjoyed the Earthsea Cycle, Tolkien's stuff, T.H. White's the Once and Future King, Hyperion, the Wheel of Time, and any of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe.

    If being a M gets me a girlfriend who's on par with K-pop idols or celebrities then maybe I'd be willing depending on how Sadistic she is...
    But the actual reason is because there are less people at the campgrounds and less of a chance to meet rowdy people. I wouldn't say I'm a misanthrope, it's just that I prefer the sounds of nature over the sound of people. And mostly importantly of all, I won't have another chance after this until my semester ends which is still a few months away.

    camping in winter is the best
    why dont you try some stephen king. It will either keep you up all night with night terrors or put you to sleep with a lot of detail

    Edit: actually go for Mark lawrence's books. He can build a world as amazing as sanderson or king, but with less long-winded paragraphs

    cold weather doesn't affect electronics. and even then, you could just put your phone in your pocket whilst you listen to the story on your phone whilst it is turned off (save power). and power banks aren't that heavy so you could still bring two. you don't really need a lantern if you just set up a bonfire that lasts through the night

    The problem isn't about the electronics devices themselves in cold weather, it's their batteries. Freezing temperature kills batteries.
