FAR BE IT FROM ME to provide a counterexample to my good friend Josh, but Rachel and I have actually been reading the
online text of the
Odyssey to each other each night lately as bedtime reading.... I treasure as much as anyone the aesthetic experience of a beautifully made book, particularly one obtained in a second-hand book shop and having the smell and craftsmanship of decades woven into its spine - but there's also an extraordinary convenience to being able to call on the contents of
Project Gutenberg or the entire
Harvard Six Foot Shelf for your bedtime or breakfast reading, without so much as a trip to the library...
