Already covered, but we do know that a few authors write so well that
they're worth reading. I'm just finishing a Rose Macaulay book, a very
challenging tome which I've read five times, with no break between. I get
more from it every time but I might just leave it for a few months when I've
turned the last page and my eyes have moistened again.

or a CD

We buy very few CDs and only those made by specialist musicians whose
performances we've heard live.

You see, we prefer to make our own lives rather than live vicariously. This
is a DIY group after all :-)

Are you not aware you are crossposting, then? Get a newsreader that
alerts you to the fact.

And what is reading fiction if not living vicariously?
