Hardcover or paperback, almost all used from the hundreds of book sellers on Amazon. I usually get the books for $1 to $5 plus $4 shipping...a real bargain. My wife reads her iPad ebooks at night now, but I can't let go of the old habit of holding a book in my hands.

Many of the books in my "pending" pile are from FR Reading Threads; I find the most wonderful recommendations on these reading threads! Keep 'em coming, folks.

Currently reading "The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains" by Owen Wister. This 1902 book was the prototype of all Western novels that followed. Mr. Wister is a great story-teller and there are numerous hilarious subplots.
