The answer is YES! If you want to get ripped off by the expensive software programs for sale in shopping malls, go right ahead. You can buy equally good if not better Spanish language learning material for $39.00. Check out my recommendations for learning Spanish. I should know. I've published short stories in Spanish and read and speak it. There is one catch. The key to learning the language is that you really have to WORK AT IT!!!! Darn! Thought you had a great thing going there for a moment, didn't you?
Stuff about books, stuff to buy to make reading more pleasurable as a complement to the virtual, visual age. Intellectual pursuits of interest to baby boomers.

Battle of the best rated book lights - Slate magazine Review
OK, is there actually a booklight that won't slip, won't shed a dim, narrow beam, won't cause you to squirm and shift position constantly? Slate Magazine had a reporter test all the leading reading lights and has come up with a winner. Read the article Best Book Light. If you agree, with the assessment, you can purchase the light here.

It's all about organizing, stupid.
Over the years, have you assembled a personal library that overwhelms tyour capacity to order volumes the way you'd like? One book store owner, decided to divide his books into colors: the red section here, the green section there. Who said you can't judge a book by its cover. It you are intimidated by the vast number of books you've read over the years--From Plath's The Glass Bell to Jean Baudrilaurd's riffs against modernism, maybe it's time to take stop: organize your library, organize your brain. There is a company that can help. If you've done your sting for Habitat for Humanity and want to synthesize all the book learning you done over the decades, there's a firm in Maryland that can help (for a price). See if The Organized Library is for you. I suspect it's not for everyone.
