you know...
I never knew how many books had the SAME EXACT GODDAMN NAME until I started working in a library!
seriously...I got a request to borrow a book from another library...the title was "In Cold Blood"...they couldn't remember the author...and with that...there was no chance of publisher or year of publication...
...
do you know how many books are titled "In Cold Blood"?
...
...
...
if you said "eleventy billion"...you are correct!
but that's nowhere near as bad as the crap with one-word titles...
look up at the night sky...see all those stars?
Now pick a random word...
chances are there are more books and short stories and movies and songs with that one word for a name than there are stars in the sky...and these people want me to find the exact thing they want with no other information than that title.
grar!
