I could waste hours watching / listening to them. :) Carol – I am definitely going to look for that CD! have you seen some of the YouTube videos where people have done animation to Collins reading some of his poetry?

I can't imagine *anyone* not liking Billy Collins. My niece went to Exeter (a prep school) and Billy Collins gave a reading there. My SIL said it was like he was a rock star...adulation and excitement. Our library also had "Billy Collins LIve" an audio CD. SO WORTH OWNING. We've listened to it two or three times. Amazon sells it for $13.57, but I bet if you surfed around you could find it for a better price. I honestly believe our family could listen to this once a season. .-= Carol in Oregon´s last blog ..<a href="http://magistramater.xanga.com/719114963/reading-plan-2010--book-giveaway/" rel="nofollow">Reading Plan 2010 & Book Giveaway</a> =-.
