For me, it depends on the book. If I'm really into a book and can't put it down, I take it with me everywhere. I rarely get to read when I'm not alone in my house though.

I usually bring a book if I'm riding the bus or in someone's car. If I know I'll be sitting & waiting a long time (like at the doctor, dentist or government office) then I'll stuff one in my purse just before I leave the house.

Now that I have my big purse again, it's really easy to keep a book with me all the time. I've been reading like mad lately so I've had a different book in my purse every other day. I love it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Not everywhere, but a lot of places. I always bring a book to school, on long plane or car rides, and to appointments when I anticipate sitting in a waiting room. And before I go on a vacation, I'll usually stop by Barnes & Noble and buy a few new books for the trip.

When I was a kid I always had a book on me everywhere I went: school, planes, doctor's waiting room, vacation... Even if I was taking a break from reading it b/c my eyes were tired, I still held onto the book.

Now it depends how good the book is and if I am really into it. I still take one to the doctor's office b/c that's always a long wait and on vactaion so I don't get bored. But I only carry it around everywhere if it's really good and I can't put it down.

Yeah the right book .. can attract some interesting people. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] So not a bad thing at all ..

That's true. I must adnmit to striking up conversations with people who are holding books I find interesting.

I also have a tendency to check out what other people are reading and usually attempt to peek at the cover to see the titles. It's just interesting to discover what other people read.

Ooops. Double post.

99.9% of the time, yes. You never know when you'll have to endure a long, or not so long, wait that can be put to good use. If I'm traveling, I'll have more than one (I think I took 5 on my last trip).

I carry a book around about 85% of the time. I usually have my messenger bag with my discman, my CD wallet and a couple books, except when I'm at school. Then I have my school book bag and theres usually at least one book in there.

Me to. Why do I do that? It's not as if I would start talking to them about it and interrupt their reading. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Lately I've had one of Dee Henderson's books with me all the time.
