Hello.

Go to http://www.bookshare.org/browse/author?key=Baynard%20Kendrick
for a list of Baynard Kendreck books on bookshare.
This is a very old detective series about a blind captain of homicide. I read a couple of them when I was a kid (that's how old they are) and really liked them then.

Think I'll go check out a couple more.

Thanks for reminding me Shelley.
Bob.

Hi, Shelley, I've never heard of the Duncan McClain series. Is it in the
Bookshare collection? I'm always interested in a good detective story.
Regards, Kim Friedman.

I have strange tastes when it comes to enjoyable books,

But I liked

The Lord of the Rings by tolkien have read them many times.

The Captain Duncan McClain detective series by Baynard Kendreck

And
Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling

With the Redwall Series by Brian Jacques coming right behind. there are
other books I have found enjoyable willing to read again, but
those would be my top three.

If you want the rest am happy to share some of them.

Yes. I can do that. I'm glad you mentioned the series thing because I
was
thinking that it should be consider as one. One of my most enjoiable
book
or books in this case is the Joanna Brady series by J. A. Jance.

With Denise keeping track of people's nominations for Bookshare
Volunteers' "100 Most Enjoyable Books of all Time" let's what we can
come
up with in the next two weeks. Let volunteers who are not on this
discussion list know to send their 3 favorites to Denise at
deniset@xxxxxxx

Make a special note if the book you mention is not in the Bookshare
collection yet or if there are quality issues with the copy in the
collection.

For our purposes, trilogies, anthologies, and series may be submitted
as a
single favorite.

Denise, would you be willing to post regular updates on nominated
titles
to this list? That will keep the list in people's attention and
minimize
people voting for he same books.

I think it sounds interesting. I'd be willing to
keep a spread sheet of people's most enjoiable
book or books. I think we need to limit
submissions from a person, for example, most enjoiable 3 books? Denise
