Mayrie, I can't really say that I have a particular genre of books that catches my attention more than others. I like Christian literature, biographies, history and definitely humor. -- Doug From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mayrie ReNae Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 3:46 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Newbie Question HI Doug, I know I'm not the only person with a houseful of books. What kinds of things interest you? It's always easier to begin proofreading with something that interests you, in my opinion. And maybe one of us with a bazillion books could scan something to your liking, and short.

I am a quadriplegic of 37 years and am enjoying working with Nichole in helping her with her education. We have been reading books from Bookshare for several years, but I am brand-new to editing. I was really hoping to start off with something simple (a really short book!) that I can cut my teeth on. Is there a way I can get one on hold for me that fits those criteria. Oh yes, a really good scan would be helpful, also. Thanks -- Doug
