Here I am at Powell's bookstore in downtown Portland. Junior, Miss Stephanie, Mrs. O and I visited the iconic bookstore during our extended weekend in the Rose City. I was drawn to a leather-bound copy of Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass." But didn't buy it. I'm torn between buying books and finding room for those books on my heavy laden bookshelves at home. Junior recommended that I subscribe to audio.com and listen to books online instead. I might take him up on that. Usually, my eyes are shot by the time I've spent all day working on the computer at HucksOnline. An audio subscription might be the happy median for getting in more reading, while giving my eyes a rest and not taking additional space on the shelves.

Question: Do you routinely make a pit stop at Powell's when you're in Portland?
