Nina Garcia, and more fluffy reading

I just finished Nina Garcia's book about the 100 items every stylish woman should own. Interesting, if totally irrelevant to me.
I've been reading a bunch on the computer - it's not that I don't read at all. Some of it is every well-written. I quite liked the Sharon Shinn book I read last week, Heart of Gold. But by and large, I've been reading fluff lately, barely worth mentioning.
I'm away from home for the next eight days, and for an 11-day trip (I'm on day 3, natch) I packed 17 books. 17! True, a few were just for reference, not for cover-to-cover reading. Two or three are very quick reads. But still - what on earth was I thinking? Part of it was that I couldn't settle on what to read, so I packed a bunch of books in the hope that one would catch my fancy.
