The Podcast wasn't working. Any suggestions?
Still not working today. The short introduction was good though.
THANK YOU! I will really enjoy using this site. I could spend literally hours adding books and even more hours checking out the reading lists of others, but I must press on. On a purely personal level, this is one of the most meaningful and useful websites I have ever found.
