Dinky, Welcome to the list. I hope you hang around for a while. it's full of great folks who are ready and eager to help and who all love reading. Another great thing about bookshare is that I've found many books I read as a kid. Now that I'm 52, I'm rereading many of them to see how they strike me as an adult. Great fun.
