Cell
Did anybody read Cell, the new novel by Stephen King? I just finished it last night, and I wish it was a little longer, it just left you hanging
 It's great though, I suggest everybody reads it. Oh, by the way, it will become a movie in 2007! Can't wait.

My Dad is a big fan of the library. We can read 20 books a week. He's retired, of course, so he has the time. Even when he was working, he'd go to the library every week and pick up a couple books.
Me, I don't have time to read, except when I go on vacation, and then I usually buy books because I don't want to damage the loaners from the library.

There are some libraries around now that don't have books. I know that the Hornblake Undergraduate Library at the Univ of MD, College Park, had a huge collection. When I was there for a seminar about 1 1/2 years ago, the rooms where the stacks were, were locked and had kraft paper on the windows. A person I worked with said it had gone electronic.

What? That's crazy, the definition of a library is a place to go to take out free books. Going electronic... I have nothing against electronics, but somethings should stay like they are.

That's really weird, I mean, years? Most libraries have a section for newly released things, your library should have that. Maybe you're not looking hard enough, but then again it's usually out in the open. Let's just agree that your library is, yes, pitiful.
