When we go on a long car trips we usually get some audio books so the driver can listen. Or, are you saying you read aloud during these trips?

When I'm at home, I tend to watch TV and play with my computer (work, surf the web, solitaire, etc.) and get a lot less reading done. I do read at meals and for a while as I go to bed at night. My job entails travel 1-3 weeks each month and I read while in transit. As I mentioned, I also read in the car when hubby & I take road trips. And no, I don't read aloud unless I come across a scene that is just too priceless to keep to myself. Hubby has mild aphasia as a result of a stroke 14 years ago, and he's unable to sustain attention to listen to audio books. I do listen to books on audio during those times that I have to drive myself -- such as the occasional commute to my company's office location.
My YTD totals for 2008 are:
* January: 10 paper, 2 audio
* February: 6 paper, 2 Kindle
* March: 7 paper, 5 Kindle, 1 audio
* April: 5 Kindle, 5 paper
* May: 6 paper, 5 Kindle
Total # pages read: 19,187
(For Kindle & audio books, I use the page count from the mass-market paperback version if available, or the most recent -- trade paperback or hardback -- printed version.)
