What should I bring to read on the plane?
One of the giant books I'm already reading. It might be heavy, but at least I won't run out!

TWO giant books, just in case!

A bunch of these crumbling Christies I have; they're light and in such bad condition I can just abandon them when I'm done

Just bring a blank notebook, and write your own magical adventure!! (it will probably be lists of things to do when I get home)

Bring nothing, and throw myself on the mercy of the airport bookstore

(Well, and knowing my own clumsiness, I'd probably just accidentally drop it in front of a luggage trolley on Day One. Paper books are durable).

But there's always a tug in the other direction. I know I'll regret it at least a little bit if I don't have Proust with me, and also that I'll regret it about exactly as much if I do. :)
I can't vote in on a phone app, so commenting here instead. I vote for old Christies. That way you are not lugging and you can lighten your load after finishing them. And they would be fun books to pass the time with.
Personally, I don't get on with reading for a long time on a tablet/phone screen and reading for several hours straight would kill my eyes! I like my kobo touch which is a "grey screen" reader. Also it has greyscale internet and rubbish games on it. I would take a couple of light books too in case it broke down as I don't trust technology.
I'm glad you have a reader that works for your eyes! Eye strain can be a big problem for me, too, and greyscale sounds soothing.
