Books can reflect and guide, invite you to examine worlds that can comfort or excite you
as they help us understand who we are and how we behave. A bestseller list offers
what is popular at the moment, but there are several wonderful treasures to explore
and share with others who love to be moved or taught by the written word. This is by no
means a comprehensive list, more reviews will be added by exploration and submission.

| The Art of "Reading" |
We are blessed these days to have so many forms of the "written" word. Books may be purchased or
borrowed from libraries, downloaded onto electronic devices (e-books) or listened to on CD, cassette
or MP3 players. E-Book Clubs have emerged, with internationally mixed members reading and
commenting over the Internet.
AudioBooks
Instead of being frustrated during long commutes to and from your job why not utilize commute-time
for getting caught up on "reading" those books that you have never quite gotten around to? Leo
Tolstoy's Anna Karenina read by Laura Paton, Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged read by Edward
Herrmann, Virginia Wolfe's Orlando read by Claire Higgins, Cervantes' Don Quixote read by David
Case or Matt Dillon reading Jack Kerouac's On The Road are just a few of my favorites. Audible.com
is a popular site to download audiobooks and NPR shows to your computer or handheld device.
Simplyaudiobooks.com sends physical CD's or cassette tapes to your home, much like Netflix or
Blockbuster. Learnoutloud.com has a large catalog of free downloads, weekly podcasts, educational
titles, speeches, as well as the standard selection of audiobooks found on many other sites.
E-Books
The best feature of an electronic reader is the large number of books (hundreds or thousands
depending on storage capacity) that can be condensed into one little space. Text size can be altered
to fit the reader's needs. Pages can be annotated, highlighted, and bookmarked like regular books.
Top electronic readers utilize "electronic paper" display - designed to mimic ink on paper, thus
eliminating the glare you would encounter on a computer screen.
