I just don't want to rely solely on that. I don't want to give up paper books.
I still love the feel of paper books but I am less attached to that now that I have began reading on electronic devices. I resisted for a long time but it's just more convenient to have everything in one device. That said, I CAN NOT read poetry on an electronic device. I just can't even imagine. Poetry needs to be touched as much as it is read. So, I guess I have a line drawn somewhere.

Great info on The Shadow!
I agree, they are great conversation starters. My Ds devours them. We have all 40 books in audio form and he regularly listens to them. I, on the other hand, did not enjoy reading them out loud.
