    Hi Simon-Wondered if you'd be willing to write about a favorite "forgotten" book for my blog project in August. You can find the last three months worth at http://pattinase.blogspot.com
    If it's not your thing, I understand. Thanks, Patti

    Hi Simon-A short description of a book you deem unjustly forgotten or neglected. It can be just a few sentences or more lengthy-whatever feels right to you. I'll post it on my blog the Friday after you send it. My email is aa2579@wayne.edu
    Love to have you participate if you have the time. You can see examples at http://pattinase.blogspot.com
    Thanks.
