Have you recently received a book at a KPLUG meeting? Have you read the book, or even part of the book? Was it worthwile to read? Did it give you new insights. Did it bore you to death? Have you written this information, in the form of a book report?
I remember how much I dreaded writing book reports in school. This isn't like that. Firstly, you won't be getting a grade from Ms.Foobar. Secondly, there are no special rules about how long, or short it has to be. Thirdly, that and the dollar you paid for the raffle ticket, are all you owel for a title that would have cost you $25 or more in a bookstore. Lest you think, they just send the books and forget about it, here's an email I received today, from one of the publishers. ---NJS -------------------------- Original Message -------------------------- Subject: Follow-up on Oct.
