Here's a suggestion from this morning's mail . . . EMAZING.com Proudly Presents Web Site of the Day http://www.emazing.com/web.jsp Sunday June 30, 2002 Five Feet of Books Are you always looking for a good book to read? Best sellers, oddities tucked away on a flea market or thrift store shelf, a dog-eared tome left behind on an airliner seat? Check out the Five Feet of Books page at the R.J. Julia Bookseller site. "It all started when we began to ponder which works of fiction every well-read adult should have read . . . We limited our list to a stack of books no higher than five feet. And for children, we created a three-foot stack of must-reads." The site lists the books in their five-foot selections, and asks for your input about these books and others.
