A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

full confession kwhitehead: my husband is a public librarian. BUT that said i adored my local library before and after i met/married him. i can't afford to buy all the books i read, and I don't want to own them all afterwards. best of all is discovering things by just browsing the stacks

Cheers for public libraries. Here, it's nice in that the libraries in a four or five county area are connected online. You can order a book (or DVD, tape, etc.) that any of them have and in a couple days, it appears at your local library for pick-up.

I've been having a book purge lately. I've gone through the ones that have been sitting on my shelves for years and decided whetherI'd read them again or whether I even liked the author any more; your tastes change, after all. John irving didn't survive the cull; Anne Tyler did. I just reread A Patchwork Planet and it is pretty much perfect.

noscript takes a bit of finnicking and tech know-how..it blocks javascript from running.. so if you need to use something you need to grant permission.. can be annoying and ghostery is a tracking blocker, keeps trackers off you, but also requires a bit of finesse... unless you just block all (but can get in the way of google features and whatnot..)
