What titles are left to fill in the gaps, perhaps I could help find them? Now? Or if someone beat me to it already then have at it! -- "To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever.

Thanks, Bob. I will see what can be done to fill the gaps in books on the list. How about if I take Thanksgiving off in exchange for overworking Bookshare volunteers on weekends?

In the bottom 2/3 of the list there were only two books that bookshare didn't seem to have. 90 The Faraway Tree Collection - Enid Blyton and 93 The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks Thanks to Mayrie and Jamie for working on this task with me. Scott, why don't you take weekends off, like normal folks? Just kidding, thanks for a fun challenge.

I guess I'm the slow one in the group. Probably won't finish my third of the list until this evening. When I'm done, I'll attach it and send it to the list.

So far, with us having gotten through 66 of the books only one is not in the Bookshare collection, and it's "The Complete Works of Shakespeare", so I'll bet we already have all of them! I'll attach the entire list once I hear from Bob and you all can download to your heart's content. I'm doing pretty well, have read quite a few more of these than the six that they say most people have read!
