World:2 Me:1

August 19, 2009 in Books by librarylea | No comments

I feel beat up by the world today. I know that’s rather dramatic, and I don’t want this to be a forum for whining, but today’s xkcd was this great example of how sadness manifests in the life of nerdy library types.

from the hilarious nerdy types at xkcd.com

Note: the rollover text is mine, not theirs. It reflects my personal despair. To see the original rollover text check out their site @ xkcd.com

I did have one joy of the day. I finally remembered the title of this book I read as a kid. I’m not sure how many times I checked it out from the library, but now it’s mine all mine for 73¢ plus $3.99 shipping and handling. Yay!

I hope this book is as hilarious and clever as it is in my memory.

I hope to post some awesome stuff from this book soon, so stay tuned dear reader (and occasionally readers.)

My 2nd Sara Gruen

July 10, 2009 in Books by librarylea | No comments

The library emailed me and Riding Lessons is on hold for me.  Yay!  This is my 2nd Sara Gruen audiobook.  I was completely engrossed in Water for Elephants for a few days this winter.  My kitchen was the cleanest place ever.  (I tend to work in the kitchen while audiobooking.)  I am excited to check out this one and figure out if I loved Water for Elephants because of 1) Sara Gruen’s writing, 2) the actors that read the book to me, 3) the circus setting.  Although I did love the actors and there is something so dirtily exotic about the circus, I hope that Gruen’s writing is as awesome as I think it is.
