We once went on a short skiing trip. As it was supposed to be short, we each decided to bring only one book (a thick one in my case: The Count of Monte Christo, which I had just started). We arrived on in the evening, and the next day early afternoon, a blizzard struck. And we were sitting on top of a mountain, with only one way to get down: a seatchair lift. Which was out of commission, naturally, due to the high winds. The next day, I had finished my book (nothing else to do
) And the day after that, my husbands book
And then we still had a day to go before the wind had died down enough to start the lift again...
Since that holiday, I always brought way more books than should have been required.
