Today’s Booking Through Thursday question is…
What’s the most desperate thing you’ve read because it was the only available reading material?
If it was longer than a cereal box or an advertisement, did it turn out to be worth your while?
I know I have perused odd magazines while sitting in waiting rooms. And on occasion I have read and re-read brochures I’d picked up somewhere along the line and stuffed in my bag.
But really this doesn’t come up too often for me, because I am very much of the If You Might Possibly Need A Book, Bring One school. Also, our car is full of books.
Yes, it’s true. There’s not good public transit around here, so we take our car everywhere. We very rarely have any passengers in the back seat, so that seat is free to be…a bookshelf! There are at least 20 books neatly lined up back there, I’d say.
If a reading emergency strikes…I am prepared!!

Oh yes, I learned my lesson that day on the airplane: always carry something to read! Nowadays I often have a small knitting project in my bag (socks are so portable!)–anything to keep me from reading airline safety manuals!

It’s always good to prepare for any eventuality, so I carry atleast two books with me wherever I go…the book that I’m reading and one new book should I finish the book that I’m reading and have need for another one. =)
Happy BTT!

I’m running behind. Happy belated BTT..
Always prepared is a good motto. I generally have stuff with me, too, but it does happen on occasion where I don’t. (I know, I know)
