Another good biography is

Don't Worry He Can't Get Far on Foot.

Also

A Fine Mess You've Gotten Us Into

Both deal with quadriplegia.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] ADA Anniversary Booklist: Books Suggestions for
Bookshare on Facebook


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.
