Hello
Came along a couple of weeks ago looking for a place with eBooks and stumbled on this great forum. I was looking for some books by C.S. Lewis and sure enough it was here. About the time I was going to post here, a bunch of my files went corrupt and I've spent about a week getting things straightened again.
My name is John, and I live in the Hudson Valley. I have always liked books, had Library cards from the 3 library systems in NYC when I lived there so that I could always find a good book. They have a great library system here too. Married to a Librarian who is even more fond of books than I am. We both have Nook tablets. What a great site this is. I have enjoyed going through the books here, much as I did going through the stacks at The Strand and Barnes and Noble in NYC. In the East Village, there was also a great bookstore on E. 8th St. A lot of interesting books from the 40s right up until the 00s. My favorite genres are Mystery, SciFi and Action. Nice to be here. Thanks for letting me join. |

Hello John. It appears you are always close to books. Having a librarian as your spouse must be very handy -- you don't have to ask your computer anymore.
Welcome. |

Thank you all. This looks like a very interesting place. Reminds me of the local library here but online.

I was tempted to get rid of my encyclopedia, but then I realized I'd already done that when I was with my ex-wife.
