>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. ;)>>>

>>Good ideas both. Charles suggested the books on CD and I'm gong to see what's out there, but now I wonder if maybe somebody makes a bookstand for automobile dashboards. If not, I should look into it. May be something patentable there. ;

>You're joking about the dashboard bookstand, right? It's bad enough already with half the drivers on the road messing around with their cell phones.
That's why prefer the books on mp3. That way I can close my eyes while it drive. ( I find seeing those other cars coming at me to be very distracting - especially if I'm tripping. )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
