I travel a lot for work. My e-reader has become my savior for these trips...especially my 5+ hour cross country or international flights. But, I've come to find that there are certain books you should avoid on such travels:
Erotica
- You'll always be glancing at your neighbor next to you hoping he doesn't see what you're reading.
- The steamy scenes can cause for some "uncomfortable" moments where quick escapes to the lavatory are necessary but difficult to accomplish
- It's not attractive to sit with your mouth open, jaw dropped in front of strangers
Tear-Jerkers
- We don't always carry kleenex and those airplane cocktail napkins are tiny
- Ugly crying face...'nuff said
Comedies
- You forgot you're wearing headphones...and everyone can hear you laugh! You don't want to be "that crazy woman" in seat ##.
Can't-put-it-down'ers
- Between the take off and landing issues when you have to power down, it's like torture having to leave your story in the middle of the BEST part. *sigh*
I think everything else is fair game.
SPECIAL ALERT: You may find yourself tempted, but at all costs, stay away from "Fifty Shades" and "The Siren" while traveling. Learn from my mistakes. Trust me.
