Time fades the memory of books read so long ago, but how little things change! It has been 15 years and I would hesitate to change anything in the lists. I can vaguely recall each book as I type it, and get a feel that it is still good, but not why. So unless there are typos the list is the same as it was way back then. I still have the hardcopy, and at least 20 other people do too, because the ones I sent it to are not the type to just throw something away because they do not understand it. Also there are all the disks I sent out. Many were to Amiga stores for free distribution. So if you can find somebody who can put Scribble! together with a copy of the disk, then you have your very own copy not only of the lists but also of the other things I wanted to say back then. I am sure the forum Users will ask ME questions, but I was thinking of all the casual visitors who cannot post to ask me. Well dawn has broken so it is time for a day sleeper like me to pack it in. Time is far too short as the years pass by. It used to be that I could stay up 40 hours and just take a nap on the floor (so I would not be too comfortable), then go another round when I woke up. That is how I was able to put out the first disk so fast after being laid off from my job. But if I did something like that now, my family would probably think I was crazy and throw me in an asylum.

Unless somebody objects, I am willing to find a copy of the disk 2 printout so I can type up the far longer list of authors and titles worth reading once. Most of those books have gone out of print as authors died or publishers went bankrupt, tying up the copyrights for years. Also there was just not enough popular demand for some of them to stay in print. But if you search in used bookstores, you just might get lucky and find some of them. Of course you could get MY whole collection lock stock and barrel for $100,000. For the avid collector it would be a bargain, since it took me ten years to assemble my collection. With the recent move, I am strapped for cash right now, and it would be a big help. Instead of having to find a job, I could read books and produce another list that includes books after 86 for interested readers in just a few more years. Just a plug by a lazy man after a long night of slaving over the keyboard..........
