Besides the obvious Bentley, which I end up reading every time I hear a funny noise, I have an RCA REB1100 e-book reader (http://tinyurl.com/5kg7q) currently loaded with the complete works of Mark Twain, some Edgar Allen Poe, Lewis Carroll, a few things by John Muir, and a half dozen Terry Pratchett titles. I never seem to get around to reading older "classics" at home so I save them to read on the road. My preference would be paper books, but I never know what I'm going to want to read till I get there. Some camping spots are clearly Twain, while others are Poe. The only drawback to the ebook reader is that it's been discontinued for 3 or 4 years and requires the jumping through of a great many hoops in order to load books onto it. I'd buy something newer and easier to use, but all the ebook readers now are stupid little PDA sized things! John Bange '90 Vanagon "Geldsauger" |
