I have found that interruptions are a way of life in sales. However, if I want to accomplish anything in the day I need go old school and turn off the distractions, e.g., email, phone, cell phone, etc. So if you call or send an email and don't receive an immediate response, don't take offense...I'm just busy.

Science Fiction (Bookshelf) - Gutenberg

I was turned on to SciFi around age 13 by a buddy at school who worked part time at the local public library. It was the very first time that I had encountered the genre and I was hooked. Since then, SciFi has always been my first choice of literature, but I have grown to love other authors too. [Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler, Stephen King]

One of my favorite series out there is the Sten series by my best friend Allan Cole and his partner and brother-in-law Chris Bunch.

But enough about me.

I have been aware of the Project Gutenberg effort for quite some time [~10-yrs]. Up to this point, I haven't paid much attention to it...primarily because there hasn't been an easy way to deal with print in a non-book form factor. However, with the advent of various file formats that allow easy portability via a handheld or a notebook, it has become much easier to deal with and read the available library of expired copyrighted works.

Project Gutenberg's library now includes many of the books that I read and loved more than 30-years ago available for a quick read on my notebook or iPod. If you love Science Fiction, you owe it to yourself to check out the bookshelf.
