Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Here is the link to internet archive. there is more here than you will ever have the time to read. http://www.archive.org/details/texts Re: Re: Night Owls? I have to read to go to sleep too. Finished my last library book today. Not sure if my non fiction book will put me to sleep tonight. Might have to reread something. I can't plan to go to sleep, if I do, then I can't sleep for sure. As to activity, if I do something one morning, then I need the next day off to recover. Jan H > > > I do the sleeping to.
