Is Contact the same one they made a movie (Jodi Foster and Mathew Mccontahay) out of?

yup.

I just started but I can tell from the first 20 pages that the book will be vastly superior to the film. (I did like the film a lot, tho.)

You guys are way to serious for a vacation read...

"Ringworld" and its sequels by Larry Niven

"Ender's Game" & sequels (esp "Ender's Shadow") by Orson Scott Card

Hugo & Nebula award winners.

The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher is a great vacation read fantasy series. It is about a modern day Wizard private eye. He is in Chicago, and has an ad in the phone book. No one takes him serious, but he is an actual wizard. The books read like an episode of a television cop show (he works closely with the local police Special Investigations unit), only with vampires and faeries and stuff. Pretty fun read, and you can blaze through the books in no time.

Decent cheesy and somewhat trashy read

On to this next: Kincade's Death

In what genre would you place Kincade's Death?

It's a western, and I recommend the series for sure. The first is Kincade's Blood.

They're fun easy reads, like a lot of westerns
