A bookworm went a-travelling...
When you travel, how many books do you bring with you?
Has this changed since the arrival of ebooks?

A couple of weeks before The Day, I'll sit down and methodically comb through my LibraryThing catalogue, listing any likely candidates. Things I've been wanting to read for ages, things that will be suitably light and fluffy, books I've been warned to read when I have time to get stuck right in because I won't be able to put them down... This usually leaves me with a ridiculous number of possibilities - perhaps 200 or more. Over the next week or so, I will return to this list a few times, each time crossing off a few more books. When this stage is complete, it's time to roll out the big guns. I hunt down every book left on the list and start the business of sorting through them in earnest, weeding out more books in the process. Eventually, a couple of days before I go away, I should be left with perhaps 30 to choose from, and will usually have picked out perhaps five 'definite' titles by the night before. The last few will be picked depending on my mood on the morning we leave. Usually causing more stress and consternation than the rest of the holiday preparations put together... WHAT IF I CHOSE THE WRONG BOOKS?
Happily, this has never been a problem, and since books so often take longer than you think to read them, especially when you factor in that burning-eye thing that makes you fall asleep when you've been reading for too long in one go, I never get through every book anyway! Oh, and to answer the second question (bit of an afterthought, this) - I don't have a Kindle or anything like that, so it's not an issue for me! Besides, it would completely ruin my oddly satisfying, geeky, obsessive list-making pre-travel book frenzy if I could just load the whole lot onto a gadget - and I'd still have the problem of deciding which books I actually wanted to read while I was away!
Do you have a similar dilemma? Does anyone else have any slightly insane methods or habits when it comes to choosing their bookish travel companions?
