I am not sure which books backpackers carry with them these days so this list may be a little out of date. The concept of backpacker books goes back to the days of the hippy trail when travellers would carry such classics as the I Ching, the Tibetan Book of the Dead or anything by Herman Hesse. A backpacker classic should have an element of profundity, preferably mystical -if not it should have cult status or be a statement about who you really are. There is an element of self discovery in setting off - the path to enlightenment, the journey inwards...A backpacker book is not a 'beach read'--the book must be worth the weight and space it takes up and should be reverentially handed on to other travellers or left in a hotel or bus station for another seeker to chance upon.

Here's a snippet of the list:

Patrick Suskind. Perfume

Umberto Eco. Name of the Rose (also Foucault's Pendulum)

Virginia Woolf. To the Lighthouse

Irvine Welsh. Trainspotting.

Borges. Fictions

Tolkien. The Hobbit (sometimes seen read until it has fallen apart)

Bolano. The Savage Detectives (heavy)

Dan Brown. The Da Vinci Code (light)

Maldoror & A Rebours (for the decadent traveller)

Shakespeare. King Lear

The Duke of Pirajno. A Cure for Serpents (for the traveller in Libya)

Di Lampedusa's deathless 'The Leopard'

Tao te Ching

Popol Vuh: A Sacred Book of the Maya

Cormac McCarthy. All The Pretty Horses

Site will include links to song lyrics, previews and news

Associated Press

Google Inc. will launch music search pages next week and include ways for consumers to buy songs for download, according to people familiar with the matter.

The music pages will package images of musicians and bands, album artwork, links to news, lyrics and song previews, along with a way to buy songs, they said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the deal before next Wednesday's announcement.

The package is similar to how companies get individual pages for Google's financial news service.

Song previews and sales will be provided by online music retailer Lala and iLike, a music recommendation application bought by News Corp.'s MySpace this month. Song previews will appear in Lala or iLike online music players, and users won't have to navigate away from the search results page.

The effort marks a new way for Google and the recording companies to promote alternatives to Apple Inc.'s iTunes, the leader in song downloads.

Major recording companies -- including Vivendi SA's Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group Corp. and EMI Group PLC -- pitched the idea to Google a year ago and are cooperating with the project, according to one person.

They will benefit by sharing revenue from song sales with Lala and iLike, while making the discovery, experimentation and buying process simple for people who use Google to search for music.

Although Google won't get a share of song sales, it will collect revenue from advertising that will be shown with the search results, according to the people familiar with the plans.

The development comes as compact disc sales continue to plummet even as sales of individual song downloads are on the rise.

Overall music sales have slid nationwide in seven of the past eight years and recording companies are searching for new ways to tap audiences online and collect revenue from advertising, licensing and downloads.

The Taizé Community - 32 European Meeting of The Youth - Poznan 28.12.2009 - 01.01.2010

The Taizé Community is made up of over a hundred brothers, Catholics and from various Protestant backgrounds, coming from around thirty nations. By its very existence, the community is a “parable of community” that wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.

The brothers of the community live solely by their work. They do not accept donations. In the same way, they do not accept personal inheritances for themselves; the community gives them to the very poor.

Certain brothers live in some of the disadvantaged places in the world, to be witnesses of peace there, alongside people who are suffering. These small groups of brothers, in Asia, Africa and South America, share the living conditions of the people around them. They strive to be a presence of love among the very poor, street children, prisoners, the dying, and those who are wounded by broken relationships, or who have been abandoned.
Over the years, young adults have been coming to Taizé in ever greater numbers; they come from every continent to take part in weekly meetings. Sisters of Saint Andrew, an international Catholic community founded seven centuries ago, Polish Ursuline Sisters and Sisters of St Vincent de Paul take on some of the tasks involved in welcoming the young people.

Church leaders also come to Taizé. The community has thus welcomed Pope John Paul II, three Archbishops of Canterbury, Orthodox metropolitans, the fourteen Lutheran bishops of Sweden, and countless pastors from all over the world.

From 1962 on, brothers and young people sent by Taizé went back and forth continually to the countries of Eastern Europe, with great discretion, to visit those who were confined within their frontiers.

Brother Roger died on 16 August 2005, at the age of 90, killed during the evening prayer. Since then, Brother Alois, whom Brother Roger chose as his successor many years ago, has been the prior of the Community.

Hostel8 w Poznaniu posiada własną saunę, salę audio-video oraz bar, które stanowią uzupełnienie naszej oferty noclegowej dla grup konferencyjnych (szkoleniowych). Przyjmujemy grupy konferencyjne do 16 osób.

Hostel8 zaprasza do Poznania na drugą edycję Nostalgia Festiwal Poznań,
która odbędzie się w terminie
5-10 października 2009.


Druga odsłona NOSTALGIA FESTIWAL w Poznaniu ma dwóch głównych bohaterów. Dwa odcienie nostalgii.

Pierwsza to muzyka Valentina Silvestrova - ukraińskiego kompozytora urodzonego w 1937 roku w Kijowie - jednego z najważniejszych twórców dzisiejszej muzycznej Europy. Mówi się o nim jako o neoklasyku, moderniście. On sam opowiada: „nie piszę nowej muzyki. Moja muzyka jest odpowiedzią, echem tego, już istnieje".

Drugim bohaterem jest Gesualdo da Venosa - żyjący na przełomie XVI i XVII wieku włoski Książę Venosy, wielki kompozytor, tajemniczy zbrodniarz. Don Carlo Gesualdo bowiem w szale zazdrości zabił swoją żonę i jej kochanka. W łóżku. Pisał piękne, napięte do granic emocji madrygały miłosne, także utwory sakralne. W Poznaniu - w wykonaniu słynnego The Hilliard Ensemble - usłyszymy najsłynniejszą sakralną kompozycję Gesualda: Tenebrae Responsoria, poświęconą ostatnim chwilom Chrystusa. Usłyszymy też piękną wariację na temat życia i zbrodni Gesualda - operę Luci mie traditrici Salvatore Sciarrina z 1998 roku, jedną z największych oper współczesności.

Bilety:
- 30 zł - jeden koncert
- 120 zł - karnet na cały festiwal

Sprzedaż prowadzi Centrum Informacji Miejskiej (Poznań, ul. Ratajczaka 44, tel. 061- 851-96-45, http://www.cim.poznan.pl/) i sklep muzyczny FRIPP SKLEP (Poznań, Stary Rynek 56, tel. 061-855-71-03, http://www.multikulti.com/), w którym można również dokonywać rezerwacji biletów oraz za pośrednictwem http://www.shortcut.pl/.

Marathon's Map - Hostel8 position marked by the red spot on the map.

Come to Poznan and start in the biggest marathon in Poland!

* Medals and certificates for all finishers
* Isotonic bewerages on the course
* All finishers can win a car in the lottery draw

New route of the Poznań Marathon - even flatter!

After consultations with the city authorities of Poznań, the Municipal Roads Authorities and the police, as well as taking into account the marathon runners' suggestions, the current route has undergone considerable modifications, thanks to which we have managed to create an even better route for the Poznań marathon.

The route also covers 2 loops, however its cross-section is much more convenient to break life's records.

We have also made it attractive, so that the competitors could have a chance to see the Cathedral, the Poznań Crosses, the Castle or the Old Brewery, while running along the route.

Night of the Living Dead, directed by George Romero, is a 1968 independent black-and-white zombie film. Ben (Duane Jones) and Barbara (Judith O'Dea) are the protagonists of a story about the mysterious reanimation of the recently dead, and their efforts, along with five other people, to survive the night while trapped in a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse.

George Romero completed the film on a $114,000 budget, and after a decade of cinematic re-releases, it grossed some $12 million domestically and $30 million internationally. On its release in 1968, Night of the Living Dead was strongly criticized for its explicit content, but in 1999, the Library of Congress placed it on the National Film Registry as a film deemed "historically, culturally or aesthetically important".

Night of the Living Dead was cited by many as being a groundbreaking film, given its release during the Vietnam-era, due to perceived critiques of late-1960s U.S. society; a historian described it as "subversive on many levels". Although it is not the first zombie film, Night of the Living Dead is the progenitor of the contemporary 'zombie apocalypse' sub-genre of horror film, and it influenced the modern pop-culture zombie archetype. Night of the Living Dead (1968), is the first of six Dead films directed by George Romero, and twice has been remade, as a film of the same name in 1990, directed by Tom Savini, and as Night of the Living Dead 3D in 2006.

The Film will be presented in the basement of Hostel8 at 20:00.
We will also screen some meshups made by the film enthusiasts :)

We are the most boring hostel in the center of Poznan. Our ambition is to provide boring accommodation for boring travellers. Just imagine: no smoking, no drugs, no late night parties, no drunks waking you up in the middle of your boring dreams, no animals, no insects, no quarantaine needed upon arrival home. Just a plain essence of being bored.
