Yes. I live in town. I was born here but I left for a long time and came back a
couple of weeks ago. Not much has changed, I'll say that for the place.

As for O'Hara, I've never heard of him. Why don't we hear anything about him
ever?

I haven't read a classic since high school, but I remember that I liked most of
them. I like fiction and I like history. So that would not be a problem.

Newspapers, I read, usually online now, but I can print out articles to read. I
do subscribe to the local paper. I thought it was the responsible thing to do.

I'm retired now so my schedule is flexible. How much are you talking about
paying the reader? Not, mind you, that money will be the deciding factor.
Company would be nice too.
