Are you KIDDING me????

So, seeing as how I missed reading the last book club book, I figured I'd get an early start on the next one - The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. I saw that there was one copy available at the Public Library in Mantua (34th and Haverford). YES!

I placed a hold on it, so I thought, just to be extra sure. But then just went to the library and was going to pick it up. Only, they couldn't find it. We searched everywhere - me and the three librarians. No luck. No book. And of course, it is checked out everywhere else.

Seriously, Philadelphia Free Library system - GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! You should be embarrassed. This is just sad.

This is why Mayor Nutter is closing so many to save the city on loot! I agree with him 100%!

Anarchy!

I'm the exact opposite about books. I like to own every book that I've read. When I'm a real person and have a house, I'm going to have a giant library.

I may or may not let you burn small parts of it because I'm thoughtful like that.
