I couldn't go back. I tried. I have about 2 dozen books I haven't read. I am hoping they come out for the Kindle, because while I've tried, I have conceded that I will only read Kindle books from now on. The hard back books are too heavy and cumbersome. The paperback are too filthy with ink getting on my hands and I constantly lose my place when I fall asleep while reading (which I do every night). I fall asleep, drop the book, and completely lose my place. Since I do this every night, it is not an isolated occurrence. When I do this with the Kindle, the Kindle just goes to sleep. When I wake it up it is either on the correct page, or, if it accidentally hits the new page button while it slipped down, it might be a page or two off, but still easy to find my place. No going back for me.

I just finished reading the paperback version of The Brothers Karamazov, and now I'm reading the hardcover Julie Rose translation of Les Miserables.

I feel like a literary moron next to you. I'm just finishing the 10th book in The Dresner Files sci fi series, and am about to start Dean and Me by Jerry Lewis about the careers and relationship between Dean Martin and Jerrry Lewis. I have seen the Broadway musical "Les Miserables" about 5 times, but that's about as close as I get to great literature these days.
