Brilliant Patricia may your library ever increase.....

ravenne · 08-23-2009, 07:41 AM

Wow, Patricia, congrats to you!

I enjoyed at least 20 of your books so far, thank you!

yvanleterrible · 08-23-2009, 08:25 AM

How do you do it Patricia? You say many of your posts are not talkative but they ask much, much more of your time...

Those conversions must bring a lot of pleasure to you. How many books do you think you will add? Is the search for new ones as pleasureable?

Thank you for them and I wish you would talk more, your words are wise.

I couldn't help but notice that Harry now has over 20,000 posts and that Zelda is hot on his heels!

An incredible volume of helpful and supportive posts by both of them, I'd say. Thank you both!

Patricia · 08-23-2009, 04:18 PM

Thank you all for the kind words. I'm still enjoying doing the conversions. While I still do some straightforward ones from PG and PG Canada, I'm also trying to convert stuff from scans at The Internet Archive and elsewhere. (I'm still attempting to replace my PD paper books with electronic copies.) Working from often rather blotchy scans is slow going, which is why I haven't been uploading quite as much as previously.
But I'm developing a few shortcuts and learning some new skills, which is nice.

Lots of congratulations are due to Harry for his milestone. We should all be grateful to Harry, who suggested that MR started a book upload section, and then went on to populate it with beautifully-presented versions of Dickens, Conan Doyle, Dumas, and other classics. Given that he prefers omnibus editions, his upload count does not accurately reflect the amount of effort that he puts in.

And Zelda is a muse to all our writers, especially of sagas. And she was the first person to start the great tradition of the MR meet-up, now adopted in several continents.

Congratulations GraceKrispy!

I'm pretty sure that I have personally read and enjoyed all of those 1,000 posts.

The quality and wittiness of your posts leaves me no option but to promote you from padawan to full fledged Jedi, congratulations again.

Now it's time to go and participate in your poll.

WDE.
