And then whatever Discworld book I'm currently on at the stage of re-reading the series, which I do almost yearly.
I know it sounds like a lot of extra weight, but my pack is so streamlined after so many /out/ trips that I can afford the extra weight without it being too much. Sometimes the books are super helpful, like the time there was an unexpected downpour for days when a hurricane turned towards where I was camping and I couldn't build a fire big enough to cook on and didn't have a decent wind guard for my pocket stove, so I had to eat plants and bugs for the calories I needed to pack the fuck out of there. The plant book and Cody's book helped keep me fed and warm until I made the 30mi hike back to my car.
