I'm obsessed with Nicholas Sparks. I've literally read every single book, because every time I travel, at the airport, I always buy a new Nicholas Sparks book.
I mostly read on airplanes and right before sleep.
When I traveled as secretary of state, I was deluged with thick briefing books full of information about the politics, economy, and culture of each destination, so those took up most of my reading time.
I think e-books are terrific in their own right. I love being able to get on a plane and basically carry around seven books and it weigh 10 ounces.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
I'm a digital reader. When I travel abroad, I don't want to pack physical books, and I even like reading on my smartphone.
It doesn't matter if I'm only to be gone four days, as in this case; I take six months' supply of reading material everywhere. Anyone who needs further explication of this eccentricity can find it usefully set out in the first pages of W. Somerset Maugham's story "The Book-Bag.
Formerly Milton's Paradise Lost had been my chief favourite, and in my excursions during the voyage of the Beagle, when I could take only a single small volume, I always chose Milton.
I've gotten into doing electronic books and audiobooks, so I have an iPad. I still love reading a real book, but when you travel, it's better than carrying around a bunch of books.
I read most often in bed as part of my attempted sleep ritual. But I spend a lot of time reading on planes and in hotels, too.
Sometimes, my reading choices are defined by the place I'm travelling next.
I always save a huge book for a flight, because then you read it at both airports and on the plane and by the time you get home you're a quarter of the way through and it doesn't feel so unmanageable any more.
My library is segregated into philosophy, history, general reading, travel, my own books... and only three cookbooks.
I read a lot of research notes about the countries I visit, and my mum and dad bought me a Kindle, but I'm still getting to grips with it. I prefer paper books.
I use an e-reader when I'm traveling: I love carrying dozens of books on a small lightweight device, and I'm still amazed every time I purchase and immediately start reading a new title without leaving my hotel room - in another country!
I want my books sold on airport bookstalls.
I read each evening, at night and whenever possible during the day when I am traveling. I have always read.
If you're going on a plane journey, you're more likely to take one of my stories than 'Finnegan's Wake.'
Some hard and dry book in a dead language, which you have found it impossible to read at home, but for which you still have a lingering regard, is the best to carry with you on a journey.
When I travel, I can leave everything at home apart from books. I curate my holiday reading rigorously and would be devastated if I found I'd left one at home.
I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.
I like to read the 'Financial Times' when I'm traveling. 'Economist.' 'Ad Busters.'
I can't picture going to a beach, or anywhere on vacation, without a couple of books as companions.
I like to buy books at airports sometimes.
My favorite books to give or get are short story collections. And always paperbacks because they are easy to carry as you travel.
