i am going on a two-week overseas trip with one carryon. so far, no worries about paring down clothes and gadgets and leaving room to spare for buying things.
but what about the books? i MUST read on the airplane. (there will be no laptop/pda/smartphone and my eyes tire out on ebooks anyway.) suck it up and carry a stack of paperbacks there and back again? take used ones and abandon as i finish reading? take enough for the trip over and trust that i will find english-language stuff to read on the way home? load the sansa with audiobooks and podcasts?
i'm seriously considering the abandon-as-i-finish method. i can't really use C as a load balancer because i read 2-3 times faster than he does. any suggestions on nice ways to leave books behind that might make someone happy?
experience, suggestions, insight appreciated.
