I always suggest Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. It is a really cool historical techno-thriller about cracking the Nazi Enigma code during WW2.

I'm currently reading "Grapes Of Wrath", by John Steinbeck. Excellent classic!

Stephen lawhead has 2 series that I would recommend

Song of albion (3 books) if your a reader than you'll finish all 3 books in about a week (I got so into them I finished all 3 in 4 days)

And the pendragon cycle (5 books)

Along the lines of outlander is son of the sword( 4 books all fast reads)
Which reminds me....song of albion is like outlander too.... But its set in the Celtic otherworld and the last line in the last book have me chills!

Enjoy your trip, and the books you end up bringing along

If you are into Scottish history, you might consider "Scotland, The story of a Nation" by Magnus Magnusson. It is a very well written and entertaining book. Warning: It is a very thick book with 700 plus pages but he does an excellent job of making history come alive.
