Thanks for the info! As we prepare to move to Argentina I’m collecting my own little library to take but obviously it will be helpful to access books online like this.
We live in Michigan, too, over in Jonesville (south of Jackson). I remember going to Romeo as a kid because my dad liked the ice cream place there (at the time we lived in Warren). That was back in the 60s.
I was in a book club for several years and LOVED it! Helped me read books I might not otherwise have read.

The book club sounds fun. What’s the next book on your list?

ebooks are not as convenient as a bound copy, but if you can get used to reading on a screen, it’s a good alternative. I use Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

They have a lot of classics, almost anything with an expired copyright (50 years, I think?).

Thanks for the tip! I’ve found a couple of books I’ve searched for specifically, but I didn’t realize whole websites were out there.
