Hi, Jumping on the band wagon I know, but I'd be interested in such a list. There's nothing like recommendations where people can actually comment on the book more than just "it's a good read", etc. I'd like to know, for example, if some parts are quite repetitive, or in the case of talking books, sometimes you have a fine story but the voice just doesn't quite make for the easiest of listening.

I found the RNIB Talking Book list focussed more on problems with regard to getting books etc than talking about titles and that is what I was looking for also. If you find anything more suitable for me and for yourself, please pass it on. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: Damon Rose To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 7:23 PM Subject: [access-uk] Best list or website? > HI.
