I stopped watching late-night TV after Johnny Carson retired. Honestly, I'm glad he left, otherwise I might not have become such an obsessive reader. These days, no matter where I am in the world, I can't go to sleep without knocking back a few chapters. Folks like Hemingway, Dickens and Fitzgerald have become faithful travel companions and my nightly ritual. Forget warm milk or sleeping pills, give me 30 pages of "David Copperfield" and I'm out like a baby.

And the more I read, the more I need reading glasses. But I need them to be comfortable and sturdy enough to handle a life spent in hotels and airports. That's why I gave up those cheap drugstore frames and found a pair of readers up to the task. Scojo® not only fit the bill, but it turns out they make some of the best reading glasses on the planet. These Scojo Readers are feather-light and built with bendable, TR90 memory plastic. The stylish frames are remarkably tough and the acrylic lenses are specially-treated to make them ultra-resistant to scratches and shattering. These glasses are born travelers. Trust me, I sat on them in Barcelona, dropped them in Brussels and stepped on them in Switzerland. Even after repeated abuse they helped me make it through the last chapter of "The Great Gatsby" before calling it a night in Rome. Available in 8 powers (from 1x to 3x).
