Books and School buses

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@swbell.net>]

I think the idea of having a box of books to read on the bus would
result in lost books.
If you implement the idea, I would suggest using donated paperbacks, so
that you won't loose financially.
      An aside on the issue:  As a child I lived in a rural area, and my
ride home from high school involved 1 transfer to another bus and over
an hour ride.  I did 99% of my homework while riding home and read MANY
books while riding home.  (The first bus was high school only and was
social time; second bus had everyone on it and when things quietened
down, it was my study time.)  I never had a problem with motion
sickness.  However in my late 20s I made my first car trip into the
rolling hills of southern Missouri, and experienced  motion sickness!  I
can no longer read in the car, (or for very long), rolling hills make me
sick, riding in the back of a bus makes me sick, boats make me sick and
also the landing process on many airplanes.  I don't even try amusement
park rides.
