Lovin' it.<br /><br />I agree with Liberality (as usual). It's completely unwarranted for a librarian to judge or try to manage the reading habits of his or her library's patrons. What kind of security guard would I be if I razzed the people coming in and out the door about going outside to smoke?

In fairness, though, I was kind of pissed off at the thought of fish again and wishing that we could go to a Chinese restaurant instead. Food can make me intense, even without a diet.<br /><br />Four pounds off in three days would make me so intense I'd yell at librarians, too. But I kinda agree with her: four books by the same author would be tough to take -- unless we're talking Diana Gabaldon when I first discovered the Outlander series. That's different. It was like a drug. ;)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-26403912669268266712010-06-28T22:29:52.053-04:002010-06-28T22:29:52.053-04:00"It's reading with a purpose.

But yesterday I was ready to scream trying to get back to my apartment as the police blocked off many routes for crowd control due to the Pride parade. Way to make the day special, assholes.

The authors apparently have written a number of nonfiction books about this time period, including translations of T'ang dynasty records, and decided it would be fun to speculate and fill in some of the blanks in a work of fiction. I have no way of judging just how accurate the descriptions of the society and culture for that time period are, but it's a fascinating novel. <br /><br />I checked it out of a library.
