Are you planning a holiday? Do you usually take books
with you? Choosing a book to read on holiday can be tricky; that's why I
thought of writing a post about it. Maybe you'll find these tips helpful.
FOR A LONG-HOUR JOURNEY I would suggest a page turner, for example a detective story or a
family saga. The latest mystery best seller is a very wise choice. It will keep
you company and make your journey much more interesting.
FOR A QUIET HOLIDAY I would suggest a slow-paced, reflective book which will help you slow
down and appreciate the little details of life. In this case, a classic is the
best choice.
FOR A HOLIDAY IN A FAMOUS CITY I would suggest a novel that is taking place in this very
city. It will give you a special feeling of the place that will stay with you
forever.
FOR A STAYCATION I would suggest a huge biography or a historical book or novel that you
have always wanted to read but didn't get round to. Being on holiday at home
will enable you to look up things about the book much easier.
TO RECONNECT WITH YOUR JOB I would suggest reading a popular science book on your profession.
While on holiday, sometimes we feel estranged
from our professions. That’s why, I think, reading such a book can help us look
at our jobs with the eyes of a newcomer.
Be careful: while a sad book can certainly ruin your
mood and your holiday, a super-interesting novel can monopolise your attention
and alienate you from your trip. Choose wisely!
Thanks for reading and enjoy your trip!
