Fiction Books: (which you have probably read already) The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1984, The Inferno, Paradise Lost. (i'm reading PL right now and it's goooddd) If you want good fantasy try The Sword Of Truth series. It does get kind of suck around the 5th book, but the first three (arguably four) are really cool. If you want something completely different, try to read 120 Days Of Sodom or something else by the Marquis de Sade. (That's the only one i've read) It's strangely interesting.
Non-Fiction Books: On Killing by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, and Evil by Roy F. Baumeister. (Hey, I liked it!) Just do what I do and wander around B&N until you find something cool. Reference books can also be surprisingly interesting. If you can find it and are interesting in this sort of thing, you could try The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology. (which isn't an occult book or anything) B&N also publishes a book called Encyclopedia of Heresies and Heretics by Chas S. Clifton that's kind of nifty.
Games: Probably doesn't for your trip help, but The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is like the best game I have ever played in my life. You can get it for PC and it should be pretty cheap.
Music Recs: Belle and Sebastian in general, Bad Religion in general ("The Empire Strikes First" in particular), Queens of the Stone Age's "Lullabies To Paralyze", Cake in general ("Comfort Eagle" in particular), Flogging Molly in general (though they are not for everyone, so get your feet wet before you commit to anything), and angst to Lisa Loeb.
Movie Recs: You didn't ask for them, but if you ever get bored and feel like going to Blockbuster... Secretary, because it is love. Latter Days. (< - hot gay Mormon alert!) Plata Quemada, since i'm pretty sure that your mom had mentioned she saw it, and if I am remembering correctly then she is the only person in the world who knows what I am talking about. (so you might be able to actually see it!) Umm...I'll say Snatch, but you've probably seen it, so go for 9 Dead Gay Guys. It's so the Gay!Snatch. Also, if you haven't seen it, check out Pi.
