Thanks for those reminders, both of you.:geek:
 

I've read several books on the Project Gutenberg site, bless them. It's a great chance to read books that are no longer being published and the library has sold at their annual book sales for fifty cents. Not knowing I would have paid a hundred dollars for them if they had only asked me!

The only problem is that I have to sit up at the computer desk to read these books while my preferred reading position is stretched out on the sofa. A problem I could fix with a laptop I expect.
 
I volunteered at Project Gutenberg and typed up parts of books for them, none of them memorable. More than 15 years ago it was.
