I truly wish a lot of you people who are so critical of the reader would stop to think how much these VOLUNTEERS do to help people who can not see. They may have there short Cummings but don't we all? I for one would like to thank him for taking time out of his life just to help me personally be able to ( read) a book. Thank you, dear reader for all your hard work.
