Books by Alex Garland
The Beach
by Alex Garland
This is a great book to read on the beach, and it’s much better than the film. It’s an interesting pop-culture musing on the idea of backpackers travelling around in search of unspoilt beaches. It deals with themes many people are likely to think about when travelling around the region. For example, what do backpackers do to the societies we visit?
