Do you ever wonder what is going through the librarian's mind when you go up to the desk with your stack of books? I sure do. Does she judge my book selection? Does she think "what in the world is this girl reading this for?" Does she make a mental checklist to try out something in your stack that she'd never seen before? I ponder these things.
Yesterday, in my wonderful day of nothing to do but hang out with myself, I spent a good long while at the local library. After hunting around for a good long time, trying to find something else to read this was what I came up with. I really, really wished that it was 4 years ago and I was picking up Harry Potter for the first time and discovering a whole new world to fall in love with. I didn't find anything like that, and a couple of the things I wanted were out on loan already.
I noticed what a weird, strange, diverse mix of goods I ended up with.
a graphic novel (this is #3. I read the first two while standing in Borders cause I didn't want to spend the $ on another book. I. am. cheap.) I'm really enjoying this series. Very creative.
politics and Jesus (another Shane Claiborne book. i really liked Irresistible Revolution)
an Oscar classic (although I think the book is better, no make that amazing! Good movie though. I get a hankering for it sometimes.)
Gwenyth Paltrow's best roll (my sister and I watched this movie about 20 times when we first discovered it years ago. Sometimes a girls just needs some Jane Austen, you know?)
a Russian classic (cause I still feel the need to read it)
Such a random mix. Sorry you had to share the stack with a comic, Tolstoy.

Oh, if only there were more books like Gone with the Wind! My all time favorite!!! Although I must say that Rhett Butlers People is a REALLY GOOD READ!!! It fills in so many mysteries about him and who he was.
