I, too, read nonstop. My bathtub has three stacks of read books I need to find room for in the book cases or basement. I routinely drop off cases of pocket books at the nearby nursing home and VA hospital, and my piles still keep growing. Even though my iPad has become a huge repository, I still love paper.

When my tablet can carry more volumes (does, actually) than my hardcopy library — which occupied two rooms of the house, before I put it all in storage.

When I used to travel on business, I'd take 5 or 6 books with me, so I'd have something to read no matter my mood. They were bulky and heavy. I've even had them confiscated at customs a time or two.

Now when I travel on business, I take 7,000 volumes on the same machine I use to do my work away from the office.

I used to love holding a well-bound book, turning the pages, even smelling the paper and glue.

But nothing can compare to access, searchability, the Internet at my fingertips while I'm reading in case a passage sparks a question…and having with me every book I can ever imagine wanting to read.

I'll never go back. It's a Brave New World (of which I carry three different editions.)

I don't recognize that description at all. And I understand the problem. I'm another who reads vast amounts. Just last week I reread a book because, even though once I started it I KNEW I'd read it before, I could not for the life of me remember how it turned out. It's been a very long time since that happened to me.

Hope someone here does recognize it.
