The Next Dark Age
We're in it Now
Confession
As much as I support my local library, I often have trouble using it for its primary purpose – the borrowing of books. Example:
My book club is reading Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex
A few days ago, I received an e-mail from the library, saying that the book was due. I logged on to renew it and found that I could not because someone had it on hold.
Lucky for me, the title is in the Clearance Section at Barnes and Noble. Five bucks. I ordered a copy and returned the original one to the library today.
For God’s sake.
The Next Dark Age 
That is my problem too. I get the book home and inevitably decide I want to read something else first. I get all ornery – the library can't tell me what I have to read and when I have to read it! Then I have to return it before I read it. Too stressful.But with Half Price Books, especially the $1 section, and the annual book sale at Old Orchard, I am pretty well set.Kris
