I love the eReader on my iPhone. I can lay in bed on a cold, dark morning and still read in the quiet.

That's a damned impressive list! I just got Dewey the Library Cat for Christmas, can't wait to start it.

I downloaded the eReader as well as Stanza on my phone. Have you tried Shazam?

Wow, what a list! I probably did about 1/2 that many. I also listented to the Journey of Crazy Horse--thanks for suggesting it. Glad to see you reading Abbey and Peacock! You'll now have to read Abbey's Desert Solitaire and A Fool's Progess. Have a Happy New Year, Diane.

I love eReader, too. I miss holding the book in my hand, though, and having it around my office, collecting dust for years to come after. I'm waiting for the day when I accidentally drop it in the tub, as I read there often.
