Oh yeah - milk cartons, food wrappers. Placemats in fast food restaurants. In English and in French.

My first job at the theatre company was as an archivist, which I took as a mandate to read every piece of paper in every file I came across (instant institutional memory). That was an awesome four months.

I've gradually been reading more and more online, whether it's personal or work-related. And while it doesn't replace the feel of a book in the hand, it's easier to clean up after a click-through rampage on Wikipedia (though perhaps not as accurately informative) than it was to reshelve half my mother's reference bookcase after one of my childhood fact-finding missions.
