Allison, do you not see how ridiculous offering to talk about books off list
in a Bookshare list is? Allison you don't even see how much fun this list
could be. You could talk about authors to the nth degree, but you're filled
with fear. That's fine. I'll just donate my scanned collection to a
different library since you cavil about my poetry and do not wish to have
fun with me. Bye-bye Allison, too bad you rejected my Alice Hoffman and
shut having fun. Hopefully I can find info about Jesse and request the
generic un-subscribe me.
