The book is rated Excellent. If it's still there when I've finished what I have and what I've promised to do I'll take it. Mike, is that the one I gave you a couple of pages for? That takes place in Minnesota and ends up in the woods, I think. The pages I did made me curious and I read the end, but decided I didn't want to keep the book to read. However, as I said, if it stays on the download list I'll take it. G.Cindy --- Mike and Lori Castner <mandlcastner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Jackie, you don't understand.
