Interesting. You and I have the same problem, perhaps with a different etiology. I used to be a prolific reader. When I went on vacation, for a week, I would take five books with me, and burn through all of them.

Loved reading. Just loved it. Nothing like getting completely engrossed in a book, and realizing it is 3 AM...

Then...I was unable to read anymore. My eyes could not focus for more than a few minutes before my eyes began blurring, burning, and tearing. I stopped trying after a while, it was awful. Saw eye doctors, changed prescriptions, got bifocals, trifocals, reading glasses, nothing worked.

So, I have been listening to audiobooks now for years. I have a subscription with Audible.com, it is $20 a month and I get three books of my choice for that price. They are a disgustingly Leftist organization, though, and now part of Amazon.

But I enjoy them. I will say, there are certain books, I have three versions of: Hardcopy, E-Book, and Audiobook. “Witness” is one of them, and I have a few others such as “The Road to Serfdom”, “The Federalist Papers, and “Blacklisted by History” just to name a few. The E-Books are for reference, and electronically marking up.

Funny, I have a copy of “The Road To Serfdom”, and it is what made me go for E-Books. My hard copy was so marked up it was impossible to find anything, like looking for a needle in haystacks of needles! It was quite funny, EVERYTHING was highlighted in yellow, scribbles on the sides of all the pages...:)

Heh, stupidity. E-Books are great though...if you mark them up, you can electronically search through things you marked up.

Anyway, good luck!
