Hi, Sue. I don't think it sounds selfish at all. If you choose books you're
interested in reading, anyway, doing the kind of correcting I know you do
just by reading your messages isn't as much of a chore as it otherwise might
be if you chose something just to be doing it and not because you were
interested in it. I know there are some validators out there who really do
take the drier books...the ones no one else seems to want, but I think, if
we're honest, a lot of validators can say the same thing you have. I know,
when I validated, I did. Take care.

e.,
i, A VALIDATOR ONLY, AGREE WITH YOU. mY SOLUTION IS TO PICK BOOKS THAT
INTEREST ME SO THAT THE READING AND CORRECTING IS NO PROBLEM. tHIS MAY
SOUND SELFISH, BUT SO BE IT.
