Me: "So I'm reading this great book, but it's like 500 pages so I may never finish it. Not because I can't read that many pages, but because it I don't own a purse that's large enough to carry it. It's just not fashion-friendly! Mass market paperbacks are perfect because I can stow them in my purse when I get off the subway. Or sometimes, if I'm carrying a gym bag, I'll take a magazine. Hate to say it, but my choice of reading material all depends on what bag I'm carrying."

I agree with you 100%, it's not that the book i'm currently reading is completely dependent on the bag -- but definitely on the size and weight. I would rather read mass market paperback books because they are much easier to carry around then trade paperback and hardcover.
Couldn't agree more. Unwieldy usually equals unread in my world.
That's one of the reasons I don't particularly like the new mass market sized books. Bigger is NOT always better.
Glad we all agree! Thanks for hte comments.
