Yep. I just moved (across my tiny town) to a comfortable little
house down by the river, and one of my chief pleasures in unpacking
my ungodly trove of collections is that soon I will have a wonderful
corner to get some READING done. Also helps I kifed a pappazan(sp)
chair from two destitute college kids right before the move.
oh yeah, among my numerous possessions lugged with due agony is
a set of 40+ Conan (the Barbarian) paperbacks which I inherited in
the Radford/Fairlawn War of Attrition during the fall of 1995. If anyone
has any interest in owning these, let me know. I'm a little old for these
books but perhaps some kids out there?
Hmm... one other thing I'd like to mention. A simply smashing article
defending the virtues of a small town librarian appears on the front
page of today's (Aug 12th) Wall Street Journal.
