I'll have to give that some serious thought. Right now, on my commute I listen to 1920s and 30s jazz from the archives of Rich Conaty's "Big Broadcast" - broadcast on WFUF Sunday evenings from 8 to 11. It would be hard to give up. Maybe I'll have to start alternating days, or do one on the way to work, and the other on the way home.

Thanks for the idea.

>>Ah, don't I just wish. I used to read during my commute on the train when I worked in downtown Toronto, but now that I work 80 miles away, and have to drive, I find that when I try to read at 80 miles an hour on the highway, the book keeps slipping off my lap. ;)

>>I envy your commute.

>Haven't you discovered the joys of books on CD? Any time I'm out of the house I have earphone plugged in. Some stuff is better that way for me than reading it. James Lee Burke read by Will Patton. All the Fforde stuff. LeCarre. The entire Thomas Constain Plantagenet books. All the George RR Martin stuff. Gibson. Stephenson (including the Baroque Cycle). And all the stuff I just don't have time to read. Our library system has an amazing collection of books on CD. I actually look forward to long car trips as it gives me time to "read".

>( a particular recommendation is Tom Wolfe's "Hooking Up" read by Ron Rifkin - the chapter "Two Young men who went West" about the birth of the transistor/silicon revolution
