[Mark was here]

I would like to find a copy that does not strain my reading glasses. My wife and I were looking for a book to read. We went thru all of George Orwell and it was really quite enertaining. She likes to read the books out loud as we go for long car rides. This way we can talk about the book and are away from distractions like the Net and TV.

Good luck with that. I need the strongest pair of readers now when I read it. Strangely, it sits in my bedroom armoire, next to my five versions of the Holy Bible, three prayer books-one in German, my French to English Dictionary, the Liturgy of the Hours, AND my T.V.

Not that it would appeal to many who are grounded in logic, but the other novel I re-read from time to time is Taylor Caldwell's, “The Listener”. A wonderful gift on my 17th birthday from my mother. Books were always given in my family at Christmas, together with slippers, robes and a good nightgown (in case you had to go to the hospital) — ;-)

I have the very large paperback from Plume Books, which is a subsidiary of Penguin Putnam. It works for my tired old eyes.

There are places you can download a PDF version or even a RTF. The RTF is nice (without a clickable table of contents but obviously searchable) because you can reformat it in any font, size, and column width you like.

The files are 3,876,026 bytes for the RTF and 2,986,194 bytes for the PDF.
