The only thing that keeps me from getting car sick is reading, but the book I had at the time was SO BORING I had to put it down... only to look out the window and get nauseous. An evil paradox indeed...<br /><br />Have a great trip home!Rachael Huszarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817038061116771158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-36374920130641736562011-11-18T16:01:05.698-05:002011-11-18T16:01:05.698-05:00Hotel fatigue and a stinky book?!

I bought a well reviewed book and saved it for a long weekend getaway...the writing was lovely, but wordy, and loaded with ridiculous coincidences. I gave up about halfway through and bought FEVER, a much better choice. <br /><br />Enjoy your last night in S.F.!Sarah Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202671048418865629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-24236888923328437352011-11-18T15:44:04.950-05:002011-11-18T15:44:04.950-05:00I'm with M.

I bought it mainly to avoid the stinky travel book blues. One great thing is, you can download lots of classic books for free. So even if you get a stinky ebook, you can always reread Pride and Prejudice or some Sherlock Holmes stories. <br /><br />BTW, if you wind up in Chinatown for dinner, perhaps try House of Nanking. You might have to wait in line, but the food is delish! If you're in North Beach, Steps of Rome is good fun and good food, especially the desserts.Lori Saltisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-44241574940100249922011-11-18T12:33:56.375-05:002011-11-18T12:33:56.375-05:00You will enjoy DIVERGENT!
