Actually, I don't think it is clearly defined what may be discussed on this list. For the most part it seems that the discussion concentrates on how to use Bookshare and problems that we may have with the actually downloading and reading of the books, but in the past there have been some book reviews posted here and some literary discussions even if they did not get very far. No one ever said that they were prohibited. I think that such discussions tend to be a bit rare on this list because most list members are subscribed to other lists where that kind of discussion is the purpose of those lists and to do the same thing here seems to be a little redundant. Our moderator, Madeleine, has just left for vacation until December 29 and I suppose she can clarify when she gets back, but in the meantime I don't see why a person cannot talk about books in general or in particular. This is not a really high traffic list for one thing. When Madeleine gets back she can squelch it if she thinks it is off topic enough.
