The book I'm reading now is "Top Dogs; Making it to Westminster." I don't read poetry or fiction very much these days (other then what's on the forum). Mostly I read boring books related to work (big yawn). I check out a wide range of audio CD's for my mother (who has macular degeneration) ... she's much better read than I am as a result. I used to ride the bus with someone who believed in the oral tradition of story telling. He disliked reading but preferred to listen to books, especially those read by the authors, because he felt that was how stories should be relayed. He was Irish in background. I always wondered if that had something to do with his preference.
