In my immediate circle, I know no one who has as many books as I, and, since moving, I have given away to the library or took to Half Price, boxes and boxes and boxes of books. All my designated shelves for books are full, plus stacked on a desk, plus, antique books I may sell online are under my bed. Since joining Audible, I have bought only a handful of printed books! I read mainly fiction these days from I-Books and the Kindle App. Audible is great, because I listen while doing other things not requiring concentration. And since I cannot stand to watch TV with it's wall to wall coverage of all things Dotard, it remains off most of the time.

I also love the book recommendations on here!
