No, I do not tend to read half a dozen books on vacation. Ideally, I’m too busy vacationing! Yet despite these truths, I still have the urge to bring half a dozen books. And honestly, it can be hard to narrow it down to sixish. How do I know what mood I’ll be in? What if I don’t like the books I bring? What if a stranger walks up to me while I’m reading on the street and snatches a book right out of my hand? And then runs off with it? I need multiple books to prepare for these obvious inevitabilities! So I got to thinking. What if instead of talking myself down from the two dozen books I actually want to bring, I talked myself up and brought dozens of books! What if I decided to bring an entire suitcase full of books? What if I brought an entire trunk full of books! If you’ve ever wanted to do the same, here are some great bookish suitcases for those who are half committed to the cause, and library trunks for those of us who want to go all-out. The bookish suitcases of today are made for a jet-setting lifestyle — all carry-on, all the time. The library trunks of yesteryear were made for people who had plenty of staff to carry their enormous trunks around. Which is better? I think I’m going back to my ereader after all. If all else fails, you can check out this customizable suitcases on Zazzle. There you can add whatever photo you’d like, or book cover you’d like, to create your perfect bookish suitcase.
