Dear Bookman:

To make a long, sad story short, my big sister has gone blind.

Before the accident, and I can tell you more about this if you want to know,
she was a librarian and a major reader.

I've been reading to her for more than a year and because we do this day in and day out, I have tired out my vocal cords. My sister will not hear of books on tape. She wouldn't even allow them at the library until the Senior Citizens staged a protest.

Anyway, this is why I need a reader to go to her house in town and read to her. She likes what she calls literary works, the classics and historical fiction. Oh, and all kinds of newspapers and book reviews. And John O'Hara, the dead guy we all love to hate around here.

If you're going to read to her, you have to either like O'Hara or come up with
good reasons why you don't. And they'd better hold water with her or you'll get
a tongue lashing the likes of which you never felt.

This might be a stupid question seeing as your screenname has our telephone exchange 462 at the end, but do you live in town?

Yours truly,
Storyreader
