I just finished "Hokkaido Highway Blues" by Will Ferguson and would recommend it. Will Ferguson was a Canadian who taught English in Japan. The blooming of the cherry blossoms is a huge deal in Japan. Entire offices go cherry-blossom watching together. One year Ferguson decided to hitchhike from the southern tip of Japan, where he taught, to the northern tip, following the cherry blossom front. This is the story of that trip. He obviously loves Japan a lot, but also finds it frustrating. The book is an entertaining look at Japan, the people and the culture. It's pretty funny, but also very sad at points (like when he meets a survivor of Hiroshima and a former soldier who was a POW of the Americans), but very entertaining. There are more reviews available at http://www.amazon.com/Hokkaido-Highway-Blues-Will-Ferguson/dp/1841952885/sr=1-1/qid=1165002204/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-5811695-0577746?ie=UTF8&s=books
Also, since you'll be camping, I'd recommend "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. Bryson is a middle-aged columnist. One year he decided to hike the Appalachian Trail (over 2000 miles) with a friend. This is the story of their hilarious misadventures. Great fun. Again, more info and reviews at http://www.amazon.com/Walk-Woods-Rediscovering-Appalachian-Official/dp/0767902521/sr=1-1/qid=1165002641/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-5811695-0577746?ie=UTF8&s=books

If you want a sappy romance that's also a feel-good-and-heart-lifting novel, Cecelia Ahern's P.S. I Love You would be a good pick!
(P.S. The movie version of the book is in production! Hillary Swank's the main character!)
Or I'd recommend The Inheritance Of Loss by Kiran Desai. Fast-paced and simple.

Zipped is a good book. A Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Marquez is by far the best book i've ever read. ONce you start reading your not going to put it down. Another good book is the Uglies, Pretties, SPecials series by Scott Westerfeld. Have Fun.

Middlesex is a fiction book, but it is based on semi-real events. It is by Jeffrey Eugenides who wrote The Virgin Suicides.
