Eh? Oh, I didn't mean to argue anything. I was just having fun thinking out loud about the choices. If I had slowed down and thought twice, I wouldn't have written, "Yeah, Canticle should be disqualified." In fact, I would love to read A Canticle For Leibowitz.

So really, both of these books I hope are out of the running due to the issues mentioned.

I do not wonder, since the selection has already been qualified and approved. |
My wondering, here, was whether we'd buy large-print e-books, or whether there'd be a wink and nod to your suggestion of googling our way to a free normal-sized copy. (I had done as you suggested and googled on "A Canticle For Leibowitz e-book". The 3rd result was a free .epub download, but the legality was dubious.)
Anyway, cheers and a happy week-end.
