Question of the Week - Celebrating Banned Books

I would pick one of Henry Miller's. This choice is driven only because I read a story from one of his books to my 3 small children -- the story was, I believe, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. In this story Goldilocks get cut into pieces and fried in a pan, then later appears restored.

Ideas - Option to send first part immediately

It would seem more logical to me to have a Read 1st Installment Now button in the Check, Remove line to the right of each title or at least on the book's information page. Please?

Question of the Week - Favorite "Travel" Books

Into thin air : a personal account of the Mount Everest disaster /by Jon Krakauer. This book brought home to me the reality of climbing that high. He made me feel like I was there with him and his team braving the challenges and experiencing the thrill and adventure of the mountain. At 78 I know that I'll never be able to climb Everest, but then I'm not a true mountain climber, having only undertaken a reletively easy hike up that last 1000 feet of 11,000 foot Monarch Mountain, Colorado.

Help - Why Validation Required on Every Book?

Having registered, it is irking to wait for an email & have to revalidate my choice once I've made it! Is there a way to opt out of this?
