If you listen to someone else read a book on a cd/tape/ipod, can you claim to have read that book?
Does the fact that you are no longer techinically the reader mean that you are subject to an interpretation of the original, even if it's the author who reads his/her own work?
If the same book is recorded by two different readers and you listen to both, have you "read" two different books?
Will Batman and Robin escape the giant clam?
Well?
