I'm heading out on vacation with my family at the end of this week. Several legs of plane travel, lots of sitting in beach chair time, not a whole lot of suitcase room. Here is my dilemma: do I, at the risk of shoulder injury, pack one really big book in my carry on or, sacrifice suitcase space and have several books at the ready? Kindle isn't an option because I don't want to read books on a screen. I've tried it and I don't like it. I don't like how I physically feel slightly dizzy when I use an e-reader. The tactile experience of rubbing the corner of a page before I turn it is comforting. A nice thought, but not for me at this point in my life.
I'm leaning toward the former. I came home from the Bookery with a copy of Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. It's a huge book with SO MANY PAGES. That sounds like a lovely beach read, don't you think? I'll keep you posted.
