Aw, you got to read in the car?!?! No fair -- I had motion sickness.
(Semi-graphic comment ahead) I still can't drink cola beverages 'cause the
taste makes me think of the coke syrup my mom gave me for car sickness.
However, I had an isolated room and was able to read late into the night
with a regular reading lamp! Too bad I have such poor vision anyway. I
probably ruined it by sneaking out my door and reading in the strawberry
patch in the moonlight. Best book I ever read out there: _A Wrinkle in
Time_.
Best book to reread every summer: _Seven Day Magic_ by Edward Eager.
Gotta go find that one now. And Nesbit's _Enchanted Castle_. And Norton's
_Steel Magic_. And...
