Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

A few followups to yesterday's massive list of books:

1. I can't believe I've read that much Dickens. I hate Dickens.
2. I have started, but not finished, Crime and Punishment. Four times, I believe. It's my personal record.
3. I did, however, force myself though The Brothers Karamazov one summer, ages ago. Can I have extra points for that?
4. Another favorite of mine that isn't on the list is A Bell for Adano, by John Hersey.
5. Why is there so much Terry Pratchett? I don't even know who this is. There's no Kurt Vonnegut, except what I added, but there's a shitload of Terry Pratchett. What's up with that?

I started working on a movie list last night before I went to the high school's end of the year dinner, but it's somehow mysteriously disappeared today, so maybe I'll get back to it over the weekend.

I am utterly without news of my life, new quizzes to upload, or useful information of any kind, other than to say that the school year is almost over and not a moment too soon. Come next Wednesday, I will be speaking to you with the voice of a liberated woman.
