Just go to the detail page of any book on Gutenberg. On the lower part of
the page are links to the download of various formats. Pick the one that is
most appropriate for you and download. One of those links, by the way, takes
you to a text version of the book in which the entire book appears on one
web page. You can just copy and paste the whole thing at once if you want.

Hi, again, you asked need I say more, well, you have my permission to
recommend more authors for bookshare and the rest of us to read/download. I
didn't
know you could obtain things from Gutenberg for your personal library, and
if this is true, how does one go about this. Thanks again and have a
blessed
day.

You're welcome, Jamie. I like finding books people might like, even though
I might not read them myself. For instance, I have a friend who likes
technothrillers.
I don't care for that kind of stuff, but if my friend were to ask for a
recommendation, I might mention Dale Brown, Thomas Clancy, or Clive Cussler.
It's
been a long time since I looked at Eight Cousins. By the way, Jamie, check
out gutenberg.org. There is an author called Eleanor Porter who wrote
Pollyanna.
What you may not know is she wrote a sequel to that plus other books. The
same goes for Kate Wiggin, the author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. And of
course
there is L. M. Montgomery. Need I say more? Anyhow, Bookshare has some of
these authors works, but if not, go to gutenberg.org. Regards, Kim.

Hi, Kim, thanks for this info about eight cousins and rose in bloom. I
read eight cousins over 12 years ago and want to read it again. I'll know now
to read it first before rose in bloom, which I already have. I'd also like
to see good wives by Louisa Mae Alcott and also Jack and Jill. Have a
blessed
day.

Hi, Cindy, could you be referring to the sequel for Eight Cousins by Louisa
Alcott, i.e., Rose In Bloom? I have never read that book myself. Regards,
Kim.

Yes--I forgot about Little Women and the whole series of books Alcott
wrote. I especially liked Jack and Jill and (I forget the one that had Rose in
the
title.

That is true about many Dickens books being too sad. I certainly don't like
all of them. My favorites are Tale of Two Cities, Nicholas Nickleby, and
David
Copperfield.
Other childrens books I enjoyed reading while growing up were Little Women,
The Little House on the Prairie series, and Anne of Green Gables. There are
so many wonderful books out there to read and unfortunately, I don't have
time to read them all. :)

You're right about Jane Austen books I myself don't care for Dickens'
books, except ATale of Two Cities and The Christmass Carol, because I find
them
too sad. I don't like reading about poverty and the mistreatment of
children--or of anyone, for that matter. smile

Dear Gwen,
Some historical fiction, biographies, or classic authors like Jane Austen
and Charles Dickens are fine too. I don't like books with explicit
descriptions
of sex either. I do like romance but not as the central plot or theme of a
book. It is a matter of personal preference and what you can tolerate. If I
think a book is worth reading, I will fast forward or skip past parts that
make me uncomfortable. If you enjoy reading other genres and subjectss, you
shouldn't need to limit yourself to childrens' and religious books. I am
not criticizing those at all since I have read many good books in those
subjects;
however, Bookshare has a vast collection that is constantly updating so
there should be something to absorb your interest and reading pleasure. I hope
that I have not offended you in any way.
Chanelle

So for me I'll stick in the religion and spirituality or children's and I
should be relatively fine thanks.

Some of the problem might be the definition of adult content. And for that
there has never been any agreement. I recently submitted a book and I marked
it as having adult content, but when it was put into the library, it is
marked as not having adult content. So I don't know if it was the admin staff
or
what. However, like I said, the courts have never been able to agree upon
what is and what isn't so I don't think we will here either.

You would think so, but alas I have no adult content selected and I got a
pretty racy novel with sex scenes and it was not ticked as adult, so it must
be
kind of hit or miss.
Take care!

If I go up and make sure my settings are set to no adult content, does
that mean when I go into the new books or brose any category that only books
with
only no adult content will come up or will other books slip through?
