UK's favorite book

In honor of the fabulous Amarillo Reads/Common Reader festivities (Thanks to Stacy and Cynthia here at APL, and Courtney and Charlotte at AC)I would like to share what I found when I ran across the UK big read courtesy of bbc.co.uk. Here is the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/

You can follow another link to see the top 21 books that readers across the pond chose. I was surprised to find so many American authors, but I was even more surprised that I have read 13 of the 21.

How many have you read?

Cheers,
Melody

Tech Tips and Shortcuts

Dozens of shortcuts lurk within your computer keyboard. No one mentions them because they are "common knowledge." Doesn't everyone know that you can use Alt + Tab to switch from one open application to another?

This blog article by David Pogue and its 1000+ comments reveal many of these shortcuts along with other useful technology tips. I even learned a thing or two about using my cell phone.
