I ususally travel with at least three or four wide-ranging choices, supplemented occasionally by a couple of others picked up in the airport, on the theory that I don't know what *precisely* I'll be in the mood to read.
Me too. Plus, a ton of magazines, none of which I ever end up reading because my flying routine is to take an original formula Dramamine and sleep through it.
Ah, but maybe Nilly's subconscious has a dark side, like in Forbidden Planet.
Books are the most important decision for any long trip. You never know what you're going to feel like reading when you're six hours into a 12-hour flight.
I don't fly all the often, but when I do I tend to bring books I've already read so I'm not annoyed by having to stop in the middle of a chapter to board or disembark or whatnot. I think last time I flew I read Snow Crash.
I don't fly with books, since I'm cheap with carrying stuff. One good Scientific American lasts for most flights.
Oh, hell. I'm flying tomorrow and I have nothing to read but some old Business Weeks and a huge hardback that I don't want to carry.
Well, yeah, I also ususally have the Economist, plus Harpers or Atlantic Monthly or New Yorker, plus maybe Bust or something in that vein.
And if we crashed on a desert island you'd all thank me for it.
I'll usually take a book, pick up a newspaper *and* a magazine, *and* a Games magazine to do puzzles when I'm bored.
And the flight I most often take is an hour-long shuttle flight to San Francisco, so it's not like I have a lot of time. I just like to cover all the bases, as my ADD usually goes full bore when I'm on a plane.
Depends on how long the flight is, but I'll usually have two or three books and a Games magazine.
You can still get Games ? I thought it went away.
It did, but it came back. It's been several years now.
