I've really gotten to where I can't easily read my DTBs. Between my eyes and my joint issues, I find old paperbacks unreadable, and old hardbacks too heavy. But what I have managed to do is to acquire many of those old favourites in eBook versions.

What I find interesting is that the three of us each have the same response to stress -- we reach for an old favourite. Our particular choice of old favourite is different, but the need is the same -- something we know we'll enjoy. And that won't tax us or require deep attention, since we've been here before.
