This week's book diary is being written from the business center of the Doubletree hotel in downtown Dayton, Ohio. How exciting is that?
Ok, not very, but it led me to a topic, at least.
Read on, below
What kind of books do you read while traveling?
When I was just a little kid, my mom took me to europe on a teacher's travel package. She's a reader like I am but more so, so there was no question of bringing books or not-they had to come. The books were chosen for smallness of print and depth of story to maximize reading time per book. She would read one, and pass it to me. She probably brought seven or eight books and bought more while we were overseas.
I remember reading Daphne Du Maurier on the beach at Ostia in Rome. I read Agatha Christie on the beach in Huelva on the atlantic coast of spain. I read My Friend Flicka in a dreary rain-soaked weekend in Bruges, Belgium, where we stayed at a hotel that was on a boat on the river. It stank. The river, that is.
What kind of books do you read when you travel? Do you prefer magazines, mysteries, romances, or short, fun, disposable books?
