am i the only one who listens to books on tape?

Nope, you aren't the only one... Trust me. I like listening to books on tape because it helps me understand the story more.

I hire a circus midget to whisper verses of Milton's Paradise Lost through my bedroom keyhole twice a week. Very relaxing.

No, you're not, but tape is becoming a rather rare medium. A couple of years ago I went to Best Buy to have a cassette tape player installed in my car and the guy was really excited -- he hadn't installed a tape player in about 15 years (but they still do sell them).

yes

No, I don't think you are. I personally don't like them because they read too slow for me, but I know a few people who do listen to them.

no.
