[NFBWATLK] FW: Bipartisan Senate and House bills introduced to protect public history

Fri Feb 22 20:18:13 UTC 2019

Mine are even further back than that.  I would LOVE to have a copy of Tomorrow's Children, edited by Isaac Asimov and read by Leon Janny.  I actually borrowed the book from our town's lending library about 12 years ago, scanned it in, and put it up on Bookshare.  The book is out of print, too bad.

I also remember readers like Dale Carter, Jim Walsh, who seemed to read lots of westerns, Terry Haze Sales, House Jamison.  Not sure if I am spelling all the names correctly, but they were great readers!

Hi Judy, that's a question I've wondered about, too. I went on BARD to look for some of the old books that I listened to when I was a kid. They weren't there. I was disappointed. They aren't on Bookshare, either. It would be kind of embarrassing to list the books I'd like to read again, because some of them are young adult books from the 70s and 80s and stuff. Maybe even 60s. LOL. There are also certain narrators that I have always liked, so I went through Bard and looked under those narrators, and did add a few books to my wish list.
