Don't worry about the interlopers, the quotes are great. Laughed about the Quindlin one, seems that is the main decorating problem in our house and the kids, running out of room for the bookshelves.

Lilo,
Whenever my computer does things like that, I tell the missus that it is time for a new computer! She just rolls her eyes. I still have the same one.

There is a book I want to buy, and I would like share it with DS.
I prefer to download books to my kindle, but as far as I know, I can't share that with anyone.DS prefer listening to books on his cd player, but I don't like that at all.
It will probably come down to a hard cover. I just hope it has large type.
