How many books would you take with you on vacation?

If I were going on vacation for a week I'd probably bring three or four books with me and decide there which of them to read during that particular week. I could probably finish two or three of them. We would also be doing other things during the day and evening so that I wouldn't have hours and hours to read each day. When I know I will be staying at a particular place for the week I have been known to order (on the internet) a book that I particularly want to read to arrive at the place I'm staying shortly after I get there. That is fun to have it waiting at the front desk for me.

On my part if i can picture the place that it would be to boring, i would bring two books. If i can see it that i will enjoy and their are a lots of activities for the vacation, i would never bring a book for it would be a burden of bring, but sometimes i would bring one book, just to kill my waiting time during travel or dull moments.

I may take some six books for some ten days of vacations and as I love reading so I might look for books there also to buy. Reading is a passion for me and I look forward every single day to finish a new book though.

I would probably bring just one book I meant to finish during vacation.bringing too many books will add heavy load on my bag.I would rather travel with lots of clothes than with lots of books.I would still enjoy my vacation if I bring one book.

Thats a very good question. I too am the kind of person who reads away most of the days. Now i literally got back from a vacation less than 24 hours ago. On this vacation, i took 6 books with me, and finished them all(although it could have been considered 7 or 8 because one of the books was a mythology encyclopedia.) Hope this helps,and i hope you have fun on your vacation.

I usually just bring one or two, because I like to buy books at both book stores at the airports, and where I am going. That rule doesn't apply if I don't know the language in the country where I am going though...

As I love both traveling and reading books, so usually I end up with at least a book during my vacations. But I do not usually take more than a book as I also like to spend a lot of my time exploring my vacation destination, so in that sense I read the book only while traveling by train and after I have settled in for the night.

Hi ally of the rain:When I'm on vacation I only take one book with me. I remembered that when I was 14-16 years old I took with me the whole Harry Poter series and then I discussed with my parents because they say that's not the way I shopuld spend my vacations and that I have enough time to read at home so I shouldn't do this on my vacations. I guess they're right so now I take a book with me. Thanks for asking thi question. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

For me just five. In fact, maybe I will not buy, but renting in the library. Understandably friends, my money is very small. I had to share it smart. I want to read the book is about politic, novels, teens, religion and books on tips-t

I usually take about 8, I get paperbacks from the likes of charity shops and then leave them in the hotel when I leave. Most of the hotels and apartments that I have visited have a place where visitors leave their books and magazines so other people can read them. So I usually read some of those as well. I will normally get through about 12 -15 books on a two week holiday - I just love reading!!

Well, I went to London recently for a day and had a total of about 6 hours on trains and Tubes, so I took 2 books with me, but only ended up reading about 100 pages of one!!! On a relaxing week's holiday, I would probably take five books. I often have 3 I'm reading at one time anyway, but I like taking lots of different genres, so I can pick what to read depending on my mood. I have recently finished The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen and at the moment, I am reading Denise Welch's autobiography (British actress & TV presenter). I have a couple of library books to start too. I don't tend to take library books away with me though (in case they get lost or damaged) nor hardbacks (as they are heavy to carry) - just paperbacks I own.

When i am on vacation,i will not take any book with me.The reason is when i travel around the scenic,i always turn very tired,so i have no time to read books.I don't know whether you have the feeling or not.

Too many! I always go overboard and end up trying to take my entire library. (I have book separation anxiety, lol)

I think 6-8 books will be alright...It really depends upon the person if he can finish the book in a week....And besides reading books while on vacation is very relaxing....You get to lounge around the place while reading books. For me I think I would bring around 5 books and I think I could finish it because there are less distractions while on vcation.

oh well this depends on how long i may go on vacation and who i'm with.. if my vacation is only a week, maybe 1 or 2 would do. but if it is with my boyfriend, i would not bring any, *grin* if my vacation is a month, i would bring like 10 and my laptop. if i'm with my boyfriend, i still won't bring any. *wink*

I love reading and when I go on vacation I also bring a lot of books, probably around 10 books or something like that. I don't usually read every book that I bring, but I prefer to bring many books so that I always have something to read. Sometimes I get disappointed in some of the books that I have bought or borrowed at the library, when that happens I start reading another book instead of finishing the one I don't like. That is another reason why I like to bring many books. I probably read 6 or 7 books in a week, but it depends on the size of books of course.

well when on a vacation i usually bring an ebook reader because i like travelling light and books are heavy. well but if you count ebooks then its more than 10 lol

I always bring two books when in my vacation. I prefer to read more interesting of book like novels when I by any vehicle. at morning I will spend some time to read some I really interesting knowledge,such as how to earn more money or each can useful for myself.

Well, that's a very good habit. I like reading too, but i think bring so many books on vacation is not a sensible choice. why don't you bring you MP4 player or iphone. You can download some book on it.

non, just i will take my laptop which contain all softcopy books i need :D
