It's like the sounds just drift out into the ethers and get lost. I can't find an anchor, there's nothing to grab on to. I never knew why this was the case, just that I preferred to hold the book and see the words on the page.<BR/><BR/>I know I am a visual person, so your explanation makesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14706180.post-68385222286942044212008-11-02T16:56:00.000-05:002008-11-02T16:56:00.000-05:00Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and taking t...Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and taking the time to post them.

When traveling long distances I listen to non-fiction or mysteries or some such on an ipod, texts which I hope to gain information from or to just hear what happens next. I always save literature for the visual experience of reading it on the page. <BR/><BR/>Thank you, Bruce, for all your posts. I look forward to Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
