That's what T was saying above! I guess walking and reading isn't as odd as it sounded. (I suppose the other relevant background here is that sometimes I bump into things while paying 100% attention, so I'm not a good candidate for multitasking.)

The better half is like you--everything comes from the local public library and goes back again. So we actually have very little fiction in the house--less than a Billy. Her rule is that we can't buy it unless we're going to read it multiple times. Do you buy favorites like that? M.
