I know that Night is required reading. Shelley L. Rhodes, VRT and Ludden Black Labrador Guide Dog Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease, with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics (1887-1985) ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Yates, CPhT To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2010 12:59 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: For wish list: more books by Elie Weisel Some books get marked as adult because the proofreader finds the material to be very sensitive. I only mark books adult if they are sexually graphic but often Bookshare takes and marks my books adult for me. I find the Penny Warner books about the small town newspaper reporter who is deaf always get marked adult because she is fond of the f word. Her sex scenes are always very very very bland so it isn't the few and far between sex scenes, it has to be her colorful language. I've scanned many other books which Bookshare automatically marked adult and as the scanner I cannot unmark it. Only the proofreader can do it. I'm told that many Elie Weisel books are now required reading in high schools these days so probably Bookshare should be made aware of the situation so they can assess it. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Carved in Bone by Jefferson Bass Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html
