I&#39;ve never been that good at reading several books at a time.  I do love books on tape, though - and even for the short drive to the hospital, I have on playing.  Sometimes, I can&#39;t bear to come inside when something exciting is going one and I sit in the driveway &quot;for just a few minutes more.&quot;  Next thing I know, one of my sons is banging on the window and it&#39;s 2AM and I&#39;ve been sound asleep.  Of course, the book is chapters ahead and I&#39;ve missed it all.
