Books:
 
"The Richest Man in The World"
The incredible wealth and lifestyle of the Sultan of Brunei, by James Bartholomew. This book is banned in Brunei, so don't take it in with you.
 
"Into the Heart of Borneo" (also available in Dutch) and "All the Wrong Places: Adrift in the Politics of Asia"
Amusing accounts by Redmond O'Hanlon and/or James Fenton.
 
"The World Within" and "The Borneo Jungle"
Rather learned and lengthy (but highly informative) accounts by Tom Harrison of life in the remote interior of Sarawak and the Oxford Exploration Club's activities in Borneo.
