Hi, Misha, I found Unreasoning Masks by Philip Jose Farmer at the NLSBARD
web site and have downloaded it. I'll let you know what I think of it.
Regards, Kim aka Ellinder.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Science Fiction Book Club for July is being
scanned
Since the July selection for the SF book club (Unreasoning Mask by Philip
Jose Farmer) is rated as fair on bookshare, and I have a copy, I will do a
BSO (especially since my copy has 260 pages and bookshare says that copy is
122 pages, there couldn't be that much difference even between paperback and
hardcover) . I should be able to finish in 2 or 3 days, then if someone
could do a fast (but not too fast) validation, anyone who hasn't picked up
the book somewhere else could read it.
Another reason I decided to do this BSO, bookshare has no synopsis and
appropriately the blurb on the first page starts "In lieu of a plot
synopsis..." and then continues, "To say that the plot defies synopsis is an
understatement, that is a major part of the book's charm. You keep waiting
for the hero to trip over the author's loose ends; when he doesn't, you end
up cheering. With such an unpredictable story line, it would seem
impossible to create a surprise ending. Yet Farmer manages to achieve that
too. --Penthouse"
Also, I'm sending this to both lists because it has to do with the SF book
club and volunteering. So, Cindy, if you could put "Unreasoning Mask by
Philip Jose Farmer" on the being scanned list, thanks.
Misha
