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.

That's where I really hesitated. But in the end, I think that book deserved more attention than I generally give a plane book, so I made the right choice.

What messes me up is that they put a branch of Chapters in right behind the security check at the airport. I always end up getting on the plane w/ 2 more books than I went through security with.

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. ;)
