I �m not sure but I think it is said: I usually take an interesting book on my trip or on my journey. |

Yes, dafodil "I usually take an interesting book on my trips". Prepositions can be so troublesome!

Thank you, Dafodil and Bruce. How couldn �t me myself find a proper prep.
How many times (thousands!) I met on my trips! Silly me! But I felt something wrong that �s why I �ve asked. |

Don �t forget you can also use the plural: I always take interesting books on my trips (or on vacation for us Americans). That �s why my husband bought me a Kindle! He was tired of my taking five or six books with me when we traveled. That was for a weekend. I took more on longer trips. |

Absolutely agree with you,dafodil! Many teachers here helped me so many times! Of course, i �m not silly and it �s not silly to ask questions. Thanks again for you kind reply. |

Dear Savvinka,
We �re always learning and may be your question came to somebody �s mind but they didn �t just ask, so you �re offering others help on the other way round :))
