Today’s meme:
Quick! It’s an emergency! You just got an urgent call about a family emergency and had to rush to the airport with barely time to grab your wallet and your passport. But now, you’re stuck at the airport with nothing to read. What do you do??
And, no, you did NOT have time to grab your bookbag, or the book next to your bed. You were . . . grocery shopping when you got the call and have nothing with you but your wallet and your passport (which you fortuitously brought with you in case they asked for ID in the ethnic food aisle). This is hypothetical, remember….
I would buy a John Grisham book at the airport book store. Not my first choice, but it would definitely keep me entertained for a few hours. Something more literary would be difficult for me to concentrate on in the midst of a family emergency. Should there not be time for even a John Grisham pit stop, I would ask a flight attendant for a book. Sometimes airplanes have relatively impressive libraries because of the books other passengers leave behind. Another option would be reading the ebooks on my BlackBerry, though I can only do that for short spans of time without going blind.

Hey, thanks for coming and commenting on my blog! I’m glad you got a book in that contest too. I like your blog, I’m adding you to my google reader.
I like that technique of asking the flight attendant. Very smart!
