I go in spells. Sometimes I go months at a time without reading, then other times I read several books in a month. Mostly audio books now. Braille just takes up a lot of space, though I've certainly read my share of brail novels. Audio books are just a nicer way to go for me. Can load 4 books or more on my player, which is terrific when I'm out on tour and spending several hours at a time in a van or in a hotel room. Luckily my player has a speed control on it so I usually am listening at about twice the speed the narrator actually recorded.
