In looking at it anew with a bit more lifetime and some extra inches under my belt, a few things stand out. Tarzan is introduced to the world in October 1912 - from Maybe it was not sci-fi enough for my pre-adolescent self. While I am a fan of ERB's Barsoom series, I was never all that taken with jungle boy. I had first read this, of course, back in my wastrel youth, in the early 60s most likely. Tarzan of the Apes was a free download from somewhere I cannot recall. iTouch reading is of a different sort, at least it has been to date. I save my hardcore reading for when I am sitting and can take notes. As it is not comfortable wrangling the actual book I am reading at a given time while standing, I lift my trusty iTouch and am able to read a bit until the crowd thins. Coming home, though, I often have to stand for a good while before I can get a seat. One of the advantages of riding the subway to work is getting extra reading time.
