Actually Baynard's portrayal of his blind detective is pretty good for the time period. Kendrick was one of the founding members of the Blinded Veterans Association. Try them out and see what you can see, but I like his representations. he also wrote a novel about blinded war vets called Lights Out.
His dogs do dog things to, not super dog not realistic dog things.----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Friedman" <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, Bob, thanks for the information. I'm wondering if Mr. Kendrick knew anything about blind people. I wonder just how realistic that series might be. Incidentally, Ernest Bramah made up a blind detective called Max Carrados, but I don't think that was very realistic either. I'm wondering how likely it is for a blind person to be able to be hired on as a detective in the police? Don't they have to go on patrol first, then take exams to be promoted to detective? Well one thing's for sure, he/she should know how to use a computer to write up reports. Come to think of it, I think it would be great if there were in actuality blind detectives working along with everyone else.

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.

Is it in the Bookshare collection? I'm always interested in a good detective story.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise Thompson" <deniset@xxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 01, 2011 7:22 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Another New Year's Challenge: Bookshare Volunteers' "100 Most Enjoyable Books of all Time"Yes. I can do that. I'm glad you mentioned the series thing because Iwas thinking that it should be consider as one. One of my most enjoiablebookor books in this case is the Joanna Brady series by J. A. Jance.

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?
