I'm a blind person from South Africa and I love reading myself.  I 
read braille books when I can and I'm trying to save enough money 
to get a pack mate.  Unfortunately, they're very expensive, so I'll 
have to wait a very long time before I can get it.  I can't wait to 
read the Harry Potter books in braille with my new pack mate!!
