- How many books do you usually take with you on vacation? Too many? Too few? Do you still have room to pack clothes? We rarely go on "proper" vacations, but when we go somewhere I usually take a paperback of something I hadn't gotten around to otherwise. We took far too many books with us to Hong Kong when we relocated last year, but the shipping was "free" and we decided that we'd rather have too much than not enough! I usually travel lightly, suitcase-wise, so books are limited to one or maybe two, not counting travel guides.
- What kind of books do you read on vacation? I think of "vacation reading" as paperback novels, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, depending on one's whim at the moment of packing.
- Do you read the same kind of books when you're on vacation as when you're at home? No, I suppose I don't, since by some quirk of chance or fate I don't read much fiction these days!

Hi Jeanne,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I couldn't reply via hotmail; isn't Blogger annoying that way?
I would certainly recommend Ackroyd's Shakespeare biography. I'm finding it immensely enjoyable. In the main, the chapters are short 3-6 pages, so I can read a couple every day and feel I'm getting somewhere! I like the way Ackroyd brings 16th and 17th century England to life. It's not a dry read at all. I'm going to buy my own copy.
