What Alicia is reading....
- I Is an Other, by James Geary. This is an exploration of metaphor in life and art. Just getting started.
- A Game of Thrones, by George R R Martin. I'm embarking on this mammoth reading project. I like it so far (first book), but I haven't really gotten emotionally involved yet. Not sure why.
- The Satanic Verses, by Salman Rushdie The book group has finally finished Ulysses, so we're getting a bit more modern.

Theresa, you linked to SCARLET AND THE SHERIFF � CARLY CARSON (e-Book) :: * * * E-BOOKS :: RED SAGE PUBLISHING, INC. on there.
There's something gone very wrong with that webpage there - it's showing funny symbols for apostrophes and some other characters. I checked encoding options but the symbols themselves appear to be wrong.
(I think you will see it yourself if you scroll down and look at the main text, but if not, I'm happy to send you a screenshot)
Sylvia, I'm seeing the same thing, and will report it to our web tech. I'm afraid it's not something I can fix!
Thanks!
Theresa
