Jul. 14th, 2008 09:25 pm1. Is anyone from Boston seeing Empires when they're on the East Coast, or the Hush Sound when they're in CT? Did I ask this already? I don't even care. I wanna see another show this summer.
2. I've found out that there's a library branch closer to me than the one I was visting (1.5 vs 2.5 miles round trip), and it's summer, which means more free time and nicer weather to walk there. Anyone have recs of things I should be reading? I'm looking for smart fantasy (for YA fantasy) written in the last few years in particular, but I'm easy. (I read mostly fiction, but also some non-fiction for the non-technical reader - I like history and especially history of science, but again, easy.) Also, does there exist a good book on anthro or sociology for the general reader?
3. A quarter of the staff is out of the office at work. We got twice as much mail as usual. Of course we did. Of course. (Also? If a book arrives for you and I know it's for you without looking at any of the paperwork? You perhaps should seek help for your ILL problem. Especially if you are one of the people working on Dark Ages England, the late Roman Empire, or mid-century Central American coffee production.)
