"The World Awaits" by Paul Otteson. Written as a guide to read prior to going away. It'll help you decide on the type of traveller you are, and also help you cut down on the amount of kit you'll take with you. Highly recommended.
The "Lets Go" and "Footprints" guides to 'some part of the world' (useful additions to Lonely Planet etc).
