But if the book is just too amazing to set aside for a day or a weekend, I will stuff it in, somehow, regardless of weight or size.<BR/><BR/>I find writing on the road a bit difficult, though I have done it from time to time, only when I am travelling by train, mind you. I find the physical movement to be very distracting. Though I once came up with a pretty good idea for a comic strip while travelling on the GO train. Thank goodness I always carry pen and paper with me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13774780.post-1136315296771179932006-01-03T14:08:00.000-05:002006-01-03T14:08:00.000-05:00Oops, pressed the send thingy before I finished th...Oops, pressed the send thingy before I finished the thought. <BR/><BR/>I usually take the book I'm reading, and whatever else I'm in the mood for.

I always take many more books with me than I will ever read when I travel. I usually take things that are lighter, easier reads (I prefer shorter books in general), or I end up reading magazines. I have a hard time writing when I'm on the road, mostly because I'm spoiled at home by my Mac and Cinema Display and music, but also because I find travel either too absorbing (when I'm traveling for fun) or too exhausting (when I'm traveling for work).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13774780.post-1135050397771957672005-12-19T22:46:00.000-05:002005-12-19T22:46:00.000-05:00Travelling with young children is complicated enou...Travelling with young children is complicated enough that the most I can manage is tried and true re-reads. And actually, even in the olden days (pre-kids) I didn't usually bring too many books. I'd prefer to take my chances on whatever random books I might find in the hotel lobby/guest house/local library.<BR/><BR/>By the way, your earlier post about Parnassus on Wheels inspired me to suggest it to my book club, and it's now officially our January selection. I'm really looking forward to it!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486646522914924111noreply@blogger.com
