Library musings
Dec. 6th, 2003 09:40 amWent to the library the other day. Some thoughts on the matter:
1) Famous last words: "Well, okay, maybe just one more book..."
2) In retrospect, I'm impressed that the librarians didn't laugh at me back in July when I returned Improving Your Memory for Dummies three months late.
3) Crandall Public Library's magazine shelf now carries Out; they already had Ms., Utne, and Mother Jones. Between that and their indie-nirvana video collection, I'm ready to drive over there and kiss 'em all smack on the mouth.
4) The one nice thing about having run up (and paid off) a $111.30 library fine is that now, when they inform me that I owe them $3.60, I dance.
5) I must not have been thinking clearly. I was aware that I hadn't been reading much fiction, mostly because my attention span has been lacking as of late. So I resolved that I was going to do something about that. I don't know how that equation adds up to me grabbing a copy of Infinite Jest. (I had to carry it home. My back hurts now. It's all![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
catamorphism's fault.)
6) Seriously, kids, everyone go kiss a librarian. You'll be happy you did.
