I must admit I'm not a traveller.
I must also admit I'm willing to read absolute rubbish (or even Dan Brown) if that's all that is available.
But...[as I was writing, I realised our definitions may be different]
When you say "book" I think first of a novel for entertainment, secondly of a non-fiction work. I do not think of reference works such as maps, encycopedias or even tourist guides.
But I can't imagine taking a suitcase full of books with me.
Sydney to Europe is about 24 hours -- 2 books will be quite enough for the journey. Once I get to London, well, I'm sure a world-famous city must be able to supply English language books.
