Dear Kat,
You really, really, really, REALLY don't need to bring ten thousand books to Melville. You're going to be spending more time playing crib and hanging out than reading anyway. What's worse is this sense that you're incomplete without at least twenty pounds of dead trees and transcendent ideas on your back.
Please put down the political philosophy texts, and get back to packing your clothes.
-Yourself
P.S. - Okay, okay, you can bring Aristotle, but there is a maximum of two dead Greek guys in your backpack at all times, are we clear?
