Nice to meet all of you Saliger gurus...  I've enjoyed your emails for the
last two days, as I look forward to be a pro-active pen pal to this list.

As far as a thinning book collection... I can relate!  Some of the old ones
are being passed onto friends, with the exception of my Salinger collection
and Siddhartha.

Yeah, and, as I'm thinning my book collection this month, I'm running into 
chilhood favorites that do stand the test of time, for example, who 
remembers A Wrinkle In Time?  Still cool after all these years.  That's 
going on my daughter's bookshelf rather than to goodwill.
Oh, and, reading to my daughter stuff that I loved as a kid, how did I ever 
get through Beatrix Potter's incredibly wide vocabulary as a child?  
Definitely not everyday language for kids, but great stuff.
