I keep an extra one in my car (just in case) and usually have a back up magazine or 2 stashed around as well. <br /><br />Once I was traveling in Europe and I went through all the books I packed faster than I thought I would. We had to catch a LONG train to Italy and my only shopping options were the 40 or so books at the train station in the small town of Nice. I had read at least half of them and the rest didn't look good at all (western or romance novels) but I found Shutter Island by Dennis LeHane, bought it and loved it! I had never heard of him at the time. I've since read all of his stuff. So, I guess sometimes it turns out ok. But I'm still keeping my back up books stashed around.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-75705755308689447672010-02-01T20:07:43.285-08:002010-02-01T20:07:43.285-08:00It hasn't happened that often, but the few tim...It hasn't happened that often, but the few times I'm early to the Hebrew school pick-up I'm stuck reading the local newspaper.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011775856043737939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-88539954581550731382010-01-31T18:40:48.782-08:002010-01-31T18:40:48.782-08:00That's my nightmare scenario, right there :-)....That's my nightmare scenario, right there :-). Sometimes I do get caught without a book (usually because it didn't fit into my bag for some reason), but since my Kindle is ultra-portable, that happens less often than it used to.<br /><br />Sounds like being bookless might have been better than your particular reading nightmare, though :-).Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-21652991112616578562010-01-31T18:13:40.506-08:002010-01-31T18:13:40.506-08:00I am one of those people who carries a big bag wit...I am one of those people who carries a big bag with them everywhere, so I always make sure I have something in my bag to read. My current book of choice comes with me everywhere.<br />If I happen to forget that book, I always keep copies of "Bookmarks" magazine in my bag. It is a magazine that reviews books, so it gives me some other things to think about.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420476898132383974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-7304512550602360652010-01-31T17:57:05.352-08:002010-01-31T17:57:05.352-08:00I've always had more than one book under my ca...I've always had more than one book under my car seat to avoid situations like yours.

As an adult, I switched to magazines or other entertainment devices like a Nintendo DS or my smartphone. Still, I only pack my "survival bag" if I think that I am going to be stuck somewhere. There have been a couple times recently when I thought we were going on a quick errand but it turned into me sitting in the car for 30 minutes while my husband runs into the hardware store "right quick".
