Bookshare wants a list of recommended  books from the collection that touch on 
the theme of disability.

On Facebook Marketing will run a serialized list (one book per day for 30 
days.) We are open to everything from children to academic books; fiction or 
non-fiction; humorous or boringly serious. 

Please post your suggestions here for all to see so that one person's ideas 
spark another's. I will cross-post this invitation to the general discussion 
list after volunteers have had a shot at it.

For example, author Katherine Schneider has recommended her memoir "To the Left 
of Inspiration:  Adventures in Living with Disabilities" and her children's 
book "Your Treasure Hunt:  Disabilities and Finding Your Gold" are in the 
Bookshare library already. I am partial to books on travel. I know there are 
relevant some sci-fi books. Maybe there are some Romance books or poetry 
anthologies too?

Looking forward to hearing your collective wisdom.
