Book Shopping at Amazon.com Once maybe two times per year I return home prepared for Bear with a long todo list, normally on the list is the duty to pick up one or two books I purchased on Amazon.com.
I only have one book on my list this year so far, I will return for Thanksgiving, therefore I need to purchase the books now so I can pick it up later.
I was asked the other day, which books in 2008 motivated me to travel?
This question is a silly for a real traveler, it presumes I was not traveling.
“If you was carrying 2 travel books beside a guidebook, which ones would you say you need?”
I cannot purchase books, so I have no idea about new books for sale, this is impossible, unless I stayed at home and did not travel.
I have not needed a book for over 10 years, however I read about one per week, books choose me, I do not choose books. I read the books that happen to enter my world. Truly the art of travel is to be able to separate the needs from the wants.
