Debbie, do you listen to audio books on long trips? It's a way to read/ listen to more books. It gives you and your fellow travelers something to think about, talk about as you drive. I haven't found many books on tape I need to own, so they are excellent as library books, so I don't need to store them.

He teaches Physics, Chemistry and Biology and hoped this movie might be about Stephen Hawking's ideas, rather than his love life and disability.

My response was to laugh and ask if he'd ever seen a Hollywood movie. (It was either "The Theory of Everything" or one of his favorites "Love Actually." We saw the new "Star Wars" the night before. )

I finished my 178th book last night, after watching "The Theory of Everything" with my husband, who was disappointed there wasn't more physics in it.
