And because I am bored... a poll! Vote on what books I should bring to Taiwan!

Books have been selected because they are books that I will probably not end up reading for a while but still want to read. They also have to be books that I wouldn't necessarily mind leaving behind in Taiwan, and they have to be books that don't weigh two tons, just in case I don't finish them at home and have to lug back with me. And they have to be relatively entertaining so I can concentrate on them in the airplane.

Trip!book selection is indeed a weighty and serious matter.

I agree about Round-Heeled Woman, except that I thought there wasn't enough about her dates and too much about her life in the past.

But you are insane if you only take two books!

I'm actually taking three... one's not really a choice because I need to read it for my Broadsheet review.

And mostly these are only to read on the flight and at home... I always try to sleep the whole way through the flight, since it takes off around one in the morning CA time and arrives at 6 in the morning Taiwan time, and if I sleep the whole way, I get very, very little jet lag.

And then there are enough books at home that I can reread or read, plus any manga I buy, and then I make my parents take me to the new big English bookstore to buy more books specifically for the flight home. Then I leave the books I brought to Taiwan at home, and they become fallback reading for the next trip!

Uh, why yes, I do have an entire system worked out...

I was so entirely bored by the parts about her past that I managed to forget them, but you're quite right, they were there.
