Does size matter?

When I was packing for last week's vacation, picking clothes was the easy part. Picking which books to bring involved a considerable dilemma.

The next book in my TBR stack was THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNETS' NEST. If I'd been taking a car vacation I would have brought it, but I couldn't quite convince myself to bring it on a plane trip. My carry-on was heavy enough, and it didn't make sense to pack this book in my suitcase and then start reading a mass market paperback on the plane.

If we'd gone near a bookstore in Florida I would likely have given in and bought a second copy of it, knowing I could always pawn a copy off on a friend, but turned out there was no reading time on this trip other than the plane flights, so in the end it probably worked out for the best.

Evil! But oh so good to have it there in case of unexpected delays trapping you in the airport for hours.

True. That way I'll have 6 books to kill the time with instead of just 4. ;)
