Does anyone else have it as a criteria for a purse you are going to take anywhere for a length of time that a book must fit into it? And you know that certain of your purses will fit small paperbacks and the other larger books. No? Just me then? Move along, nothing to see here...

Haha! When I buy purses, unless they have to be fashionably small for some fancy-dress reason, I almost always calculate what will fit inside - a book is requisite. :) If I'm traveling, my bag must always be able to fit a book, water bottle, iPod and other small necessaries. I normally only make certain it will fit a paperback, but I do have bags designated as the "hardcover carriers." ;) I rarely go anywhere without a book & iPod.

Yes! I am not the only one!

I have a number of nice, small purses which I use if I go for a walk with someone (ergo no books) or if I have a backpack or whatever. But generally, at least a small paperback must fit.

This week's purse must hold "Shantaram" however, which is an iffier proposition as it's a monster of a book...

LOL! Not before, but yes, any purse I buy in the future is going to have to meet that standard. My current everyday purse will just barely squeeze in a moderate-sized paperback (in addition to the other crap in there, which is not a lot), and it's just not cutting it; half the time the purse won't close. From now on at the very least any bag I carry is going to have to be able to comfortably hold a moderate-size paperback in addition to all the other junk I need. ;)

I hate it when that happens!

I am so glad to know I am not the only one...

All those midget-sized purses are pretty but kinda useless...

... I try not to carry hardcovers because my back does not appreciate it ;) but if I have to carry a hard cover book I have this huge hobo bag so I can carry the book, my ipod, ma chapstick, a little notepad & ballpoing, lipgloss, ... well, it's more like a truck with and adjustable strap than a purse :P

LOL.

It's quite tragic really, that the really usable purses and the small elegant ones are kinda mutually exclusive. I think someone should create some time/space continuum rip to fix this.

LOL! I second!

I prefer the kind of purses that can be converted from a shoulder bag to a waist-pack (like to have my hands free). Must fit my palm pilot (actually a handspring) which normally has about half a dozen books loaded on it, as well as lots of short stories, plus an audiobook (for earbuds or listening in the car). AND, I can write on it as well if I get the urge.

If I need to carry more stuff, like books, notebook, laptop, etc, I carry my backpack.

And I loved the BSG final. Change is good, and I don't think they'll be stuck on that planet for long. Plus I like Anders :-P~~~ (but you'll probably win, because I imagine he's going to die :-().

dangermousie March 13 2006, 20:19:54 UTC

You have no idea how great it's to find out that it's not just me re: purses. Yay. It's like some sort of a secret society.

Re: BSG. Agreed. And I hope off the planet they go. Anders is someone I'd like fine in RL but in BSG I can't wait for him to keel over...

because i feel better this way

Me too. It's this deep-seated "but you never know when you might want one" thing.
