 Whichever was on top of the pile. That would probably be whichever
was bought second because the pile would probably invert from its
standing, waiting to be read position when being packed. :)

 Does it really matter? A good book is a good book and learning is
learning. Maths is always fun. Discussions about maths can be
irritating but that, too, can be fun.

 Reading order matters when you have a new serialised novel cut into
several books but that's about the only time it does.

 Which leads me to: Harry Turtledove's "How Few Remain" and Great War
series would be nice to take on a journey if you have an e-book
reader. It'll probably be possible to get through to "Breakthroughs"
while waiting for Security at the departure end and to finish "In At
The Death" at the other end.

entire conversation.
