What to Take and What to Leave

Since I'll be leaving for Maine in two weeks I've been thinking about books-- what to take. Do I want a mystery? Perhaps an espionage saga? Or do I want some serious literary fiction? Short stories? Flash fiction?

Should I start a new series or read a favorite author or be wild and take a plunge with someone new? Then again I always purchase some books at two of my favorite independent bookstores. So many decisions.

Perhaps I'll just pile books into my book bag and forget about weight or numbers-- after all we're driving up.
