A literal, "ha." I downloaded Potter you Rotter's new book, the Brit
version which I like better having been raised abroad most of my life,
and I read 200 pages on 8x11.5 sheets, then the remainding 550 pages on
the computer. That sucked. I will never do that again. But I read 5
books per week so my "TC bookshelf" is never what I read. As I mentioned
b4, a good book I just finished is "How Would You Move Mount Fuji?" by
William Poundstone. It is about logic/mathematical puzzles in job
interviews. Very interesting.
I endorse reading as much as possible. Well, OK, now that we have a
satellite dish I also endorse some minor television viewing like South
Park, Seinfeld, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and IFC movies.

Like Scotty, my "recreational" reading is more often than not from my "TC

Electronic formats are not useful when reading in bed, on the beach, or in a
cafe or restaurant, nor do they take stickies or highlighers well.
