Summer Reading
I spent a long time at Border's this morning trying to figure out what I would be reading on vacation. This is always a tricky task because there are many things to consider: 1) It can't be too heavy because I don't want to lug it around everywhere 2) It has to be long enough to last because I HATE being without reading material on vacation. Thus, no junky trades from the airport...those only last a plane ride. So, for Costa Rica and Belize next week, I'll probably take the following:
I can abandon the books when I'm done reading them. We aren't moving around THAT much so I can afford to carry more books than usual. For my six-week European trip:
That should for sure last me at least 2-3 weeks. I'll probably have my friend bring me something when he arrives two weeks later...we'll see. Both books are pretty long.
I'd considered bringing the unabridged version of the Count of Monte Cristo (one of my favorite books ever)...but its too heavy to lug around and my copy isn't one I want to leave behind anywhere.

i have 'the history of love' - i couldn't get past the first few chapters. then i tried it on cd - it got worse. hopefully you'll get through it and come out with a review, too. :) can't wait!!
i read the 'pendulum' for 6 or 7 times now. one of my favorites, ever. did you finish it? i like dostoevsky's books too, btw (i prefer franz kafka though).
oh, and i'd like to add you to my friends list, ok? we have many friends in common... =)
