I think you hit the nail on the head, Judy. For me it is a form of escape.
I have faced life-and-death decisions for so many years in caring for
critically ill people that it is nice to see nursing in its simpler, more
noble form. I could go on and on about medicine now versus then, but the
most important thing to me is just sharing the joy of reading with another
generation. Same as my love for Anne of Green Gables and other childhood
favorites. I'm just glad that I have a daughter who loves books and am
thrilled that she will soon have the ability to read more books and choose
more books on her own. There is a desperate need to provide literacy
opportunities of wide ranges for children with more significant
disabilities. Too often the only opportunities they are given are
audiotapes, and while that is wonderful, and can give them exposure to
literature, there is something beautiful about seeing the printed word
come alive.

smile. Several of the scanners and proofreaders here, including me, like
to work on children's and young adult books that we either enjoyed
ourselves when young, or wish we'd been able to read. It certainly is a
nice break from those grown up woes, isn't it?
