I wondered briefly if I should take Byron to read in Byron Bay. Settled instead on Christos.

Now wondering whether one should take one’s e-reader to the beach. Paperbacks really do seem somehow more beachy.

So as usual the suitcase contains five books plus I have something silly to read on the plane – plus the e-reader. Luggage no lighter than normal. But I do have more than a hundred books to choose from when I get to the usual day two “I don’t feel like reading any of these” phase.
