Reading On the Go

I have always felt it was important to have a book or two in my bag at all times. You never know when you might be able to catch a moment and do some reading. I have found places to snatch reading on the bus, in the waiting room, and while waiting to be picked up.

For the purposes of carrying a book, it is important to make sure that you have a bag or purse that is big enough to hold one very large book or 2 smaller to medium-sized ones.

I will admit that reading on the bus can be a dangerous game to play. One has to be careful what kind of book you read. It needs to be interesting enough to pass the time but also not so interesting that you lose all sense of time and place and miss your stop. Sometimes one must also be careful about the subject matter. It can be quite embarrassing if the topic is quite steamy to be reading it in a place of public transit. It is also embarrassing to read something very sad and end up crying your eyes out on the bus or in a waiting room.
However, one is not always able to tell from the cover or summary of the book what exactly the contents are so, in general, I try to avoid books that look of the romance novel or romance novelesc or books so summary hint at possible tragedy.
