No, make that three shorter ones for back up. :)Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-67303151629671366832010-01-10T16:50:17.711-05:002010-01-10T16:50:17.711-05:00Hearing great things about the MurakamiHearing great things about the MurakamiSuzannehttp://www.readingtomykids.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-28250809508402155642010-01-10T12:05:52.931-05:002010-01-10T12:05:52.931-05:00Yes, Cip, i'm definitely taking Atonement. I&#...Yes, Cip, i'm definitely taking Atonement. I'm just not sure it's enough. McEwan reads so quickly.<br /><br />Zanne, I'd kind of forgotten about e-reader options. But in general, I'm trying to keep this vacation tech-free (no laptop! no blogging!). I would've been treated to an ereader for xmas this year, but we're treating oursleves to a vacation instead.Isabella Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735198478395875257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-34064503085154038332010-01-10T09:59:22.061-05:002010-01-10T09:59:22.061-05:00Do you have a smartphone?

I have a Treo Pro and it's Windows-based so it will run most ebook readers.<br /><br />I usually have an e-version of the book I'm reading -- with 4GB of removable storage, that's a lot of books! I wouldn't be able to read much at all, otherwise, in general.<br /><br />Just a thought.Suzannehttp://www.readingtomykids.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-7255972549513988632010-01-09T23:11:07.954-05:002010-01-09T23:11:07.954-05:00Isabella...... oh, I SOOOOOOO envy you.
I have NO ...Isabella...... oh, I SOOOOOOO envy you.<br />I have NO holidays left till, when I don't even know when!<br />But your questions, I have some insight here, yes. I have only gone on ONE all-inclusive vacation ever, to Puerto Vallarta.<br />I made [what I now think was] a mistake. Taking sort of a heavy book with me. Stendhal's <i>The Red and the Black</i>. I know. I am retarded.<br />A few days in, I wanted to decapitate Julien in the book, long before Stendhal did.<br /><b>DON'T TAKE A HEAVY BOOK.</b><br />Do not take <i>The Magic Mountain.</i><br />The McEwan would be my vote. <i>Atonement</i>........ oh, really good. <br />I wish you joy.<br />I wish you fun.<br />[In Mexico I got salmonella poisoning from eating salad]..... <br />HAVE FUN!Ciprianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254338542624853230noreply@blogger.com
