We wouldn’t want to pack a luggage the size of Tokyo Dome. It’s kind of balance between luggage size limit and the clothing packed for a destination with thermometer reading touching zero.

I ended up with less luggage room for my books. That, to say the least, is not the priority. And though I had two books, I did know that, by peeking in the choice of my daughter’s, I had more to read. Her novel, such as We Were Liars , is among the best she ever read, and wishes to read again. That can also be on my reading list.

Which is a good thing. That means I have a bigger “bookshelf” simply by sharing.
