After dropping sail and anchoring for the night, I love to spend my time
reading. Books are heavy though and take up valuable space - but now I can
take my library to sea with me! I just loaded more than 2000 classic books
on CD, which I purchased at www.4literature.net for about $20. What a
bargain!

Great as long as the batteries hold out

Actually I'd rather read a real book that look at a computer screen. For
some reason, reading on screen hurts my eyes much more than reading print.

Anyway thanks for the link... interesting list of authors... why
Herodotus but no Heinlein? For that matter, why Thucydides but not
Xenophon? Sorry, I just finished re-reading Mary Rennault's non fiction
"Life of Alexander" (the Great, of course) and am on somewhat of a jag
for the ancients. And do they have all the cool illustrations with the
Rubaiyat??

I've never had a problem keeping a stock of good books on any of our
boats. Most cruisers seem to be readers, and book swap shelves are well
stocked at most clubs & marinas.
