Do you read fiction or non-fiction, Rob? Strictly non-fiction. I can't remember reading a fiction since high-school, then I would choose science-fiction, if that choice was there. > > We had 2 weeks (free again) of the paper, and they called me back > yesterday to see if I wanted "A really good deal" on a subscription.
