Oh my gosh, yeah I bet it has

I've resigned myself to carrying my purse as well as a larger tote in order to carry my books. I"m reading the last Harry Potter and there's just no way that thing is fitting in my purse I probably need to get one of those more professional totes so I can just stick my wallet and books in there and only carry one bag.

Yeah, I just carry my backpack as a purse. It's not uncommon in my profession and a briefcase or something of the sort isn't necessary, so I just carry my backpack and put my wallet and phone and keys in there on top of the books and everything I carry for work like a notebook and pens and the like, so it works It just means that I get a work out every time I walk to and from work.

the added bonus of books - as well as entertainment, they can help with your workout

I think I get paranoid that with my keys, wallet, and phone loose in there they're going to get lost or slip out somehow. But lately I've been contemplating just doing that - it'd make it so much easier

Na, I mean, my backpack zips up just like a purse does, and it has several pockets so I can always keep it seperate from my work stuff so I'm not pulling out my keys or phone by accident.

I used to carry a book or two whenever I went out...even to bars...I'm always expecting that I would be bored with people, that I would just stay at rest rooms and read...but eversince ebook reader, not anymore...I could even read during a date and pretend I was just texting

that's not a bad idea

Today is the first day I'm not bringing my purse to work and just threw my wallet, etc in my bigger tote. I'm thinking I might actually buy one of the nicer looking totes/purses so it looks a little nicer and maybe has more pockets, like you were talking about Angel. It's definitely nice not having both a purse and a bag!

I usually just carry a purse and my lunchbag to work, so sometimes the book will get through in with my lunch rather than into my purse

that's always a good idea to pack your book with your lunch so you read your book too.

I finally bought a big tote that has different sections so my wallet/keys/phone are in one pocket and then my book is in another, and I love it! It's so much easier than carrying both a purse and a bag I read over lunch a lot too, so it's so much easier just to take my one bag

I've actually found that I really love reading over lunch...it makes my lunch feel longer and it really helps me get through books since I don't always have time in the evening to read.

When I was younger, I used to bring books everywhere. Now, not really a lot.

I agree with you Gabriela that it's nice to read during lunch. 30 min doesn't seem a lot but I enjoy it nonetheless.

I kind of do carry book around with me. I take my iPod Touch with most places and I have an app on there called 101 Classic Novels.
