books

Did I mention that school starts again today? It does.

*Much* more excitingly, they have moved the library's juvenile collection to a much more accesible place (in fact, an entirely pleasant one) and I am there now. They have Swallows and Amazons! Puck of Pook's Hill! Ishi, Last of His Tribe! An extremely extensive Rosemary Sutcliff collection! And that's just what I saw on an idle wander through the shelves! How am I ever going to get it all read in just one more semester?

Why, by reading them all instead of studying, of course. You get the full enjoyment of the books, as well as the possibility of failing classes and having another semester to find more!

Hmm... that sounded like a good idea a second ago...

That's frighteningly close to my exact thought process every time I walk in that library lately.

(Don't tell my mother.)

Awwwww! I'm tell-in'! :o

S&A! Puck! Sutcliff! It's lucky *I* don't have access to that library, because I would *never* get any work done.

I think I shall have to limit myself to one book at a time. And only for reading on the train. (Which shouldn't actually be too much of a limitation - I already finished one of the Sutcliffs). I think tomorrow is S&A. BTW, this is all your fault - I only went up there because the catalog said they had S&A (which the local public library system doesn't), which went to the top of my reading list after I realized it had Pirates! Why didn't you ever mention *that*? :D

Yay, I'll take full credit! :D And I definitely should have mentioned the pirates. Pirate *siblings*, too! You and Katy can fight over who gets to be who - for the record, I am John and Titty and Nancy. Courtney claims to be Susan and Titty and sometimes-Nancy, but everyone knows she's really sometimes-Peggy.
