Writer's Block: Airplane reading

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I can't ever read on road trips because I get carsick if I try, but for plane rides I usually bring a novel and some magazines, usually of the girly/fashion variety or house plans. (I like house plan magazines. Leave me alone). If I remember to bring one, I usually polish off an entire novel during an international flight-- with time to spare if it's to Japan. I bring the magazines for those stages of the flight where I'm too tired to concentrate on anything intense-- those parts where everyone else is sleeping, but I can't sleep, since I can never sleep on plane flights.

During college, plane flights were practically the only time I had to read for leisure, so, yes, I brought reading material different from what I usually would read. I couldn't concentrate well enough to read anything that wouldn't actively hold my attention (or I'd be quizzed on later), so I allowed myself to read things I wanted to read. Which sometimes were moving novels of heartbreaking genius-- and sometimes were Cosmo.

I'll read just about anything (I mean, I read the in-flight magazine cover-to-cover and the safety card on international flights!) and watch almost any in-flight movie. Actually, sometimes I'd rather watch a juvenile comedy than a plot-packed Oscar winner when on a plane, because the latter is too hard to follow when you're tired and uncomfortable.
