Don't forget the fact that language and definitions themselves do not remain stagnant (even if we might want them to).

I just find it odd whenever someone wants to draw a very public line in the sand about what "reading" is and isn't--and will argue to death that there is no wiggle room whatsoever. But those same people usually won't say a word whenever people talk about "dialing" a phone number.

When someone asks me if I've read 'Book X', I'm never going to say "no, but I listened to it." I'm going to say "yes" (or no) and get to the part of the conversation that actually matters: what we thought about 'Book X'. How we might have described our "consumption" of 'Book X' is actually quite meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
