I always had the problem of reading the first 3 chapters of the same book
over and over. With long gaps (hopefully) between landouts, novels had a
way of never getting finished. My solution was to move to short stories.
I now carry along the anthology "Best American Short Stories of [year]".
A particularly bad year of landouts in remote places sees me finishing the
majority of a single edition. A good year sees the book safely stowed and
never opened.

Short stories are also great for short-haul airline travel and similar
adventures.

You'll find the specific series (Edited by Katrina Kenison) on Amazon and
usually stocked at local booksellers.

Folks,

After spending many hours waiting for a retrieve after
land-outs and waiting on a grid for a couple or more
hours each day at last year's Region Six race, I realized
it would be really great to have a book on board.
