I think having the classics all in one volume is a good idea. I wonder how
many of the classics are on Gutenberg. Becky

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] literary classics
I was in Sam’s Club yesterday doing my Christmas shopping when I saw
something that made me think of Bookshare. My husband and I spotted something
calling itself the classics library. It was an eight-volume set of hardbound
classic literature. The titles included: The Jungle Book, A Christmas Carol,
The Call of the Wild, and others. This set sold for about $85. We talked
about which ones we had read in school and which ones we had just seen the
movies to. We also agreed that someday nice editions of these books should be
in our library for our children to read. Right now we are just dealing with
our growing collection of Dr. Seuss books. We have seen other collections of
books as we have done our shopping the classics that are in the public domain.
I decided to do that this month. After all, I have been in the hospital twice
this week for observation. If I end up on bed rest, I want it to be more
entertaining than the last time. Last time I ordered cable TV. Now I also
have Bookshare and my computer to keep me entertained. That is great! Does
anyone else have any thoughts?

This made me think of Bookshare because I realized that I could go home and
download any of these books that I didn’t already have. I started with that
collection, and I expanded to include books by other well-known authors that I
enjoy. Thanks to Bookshare I have a lot of modern books, but I haven’t spent
much time download
