I love old bookmobiles and similar libraries.

Ugh, Florida in July. That does not sound ideal to me AT ALL.

I hope your tv fixes itself!

[tsuki_no_bara]

aren't the bookmobiles cool?

florida is only ideal in, like, january. july is just nuts. altho sometimes so is my sister, so.

it did fix itself! maybe the threat of me buying a new one made it come to its senses.

A camel library - how cool!

I hope your headache goes away soon!

there's a biblioburro in colombia, too. i would not mind getting books from a burro. or a camel.

the headache did go! thank you.

I admit, I have no desire to visit Florida any time of year... Hope your telly is fixed now and your headache has buggered off.

florida in january can be nice, by which i mean warmer than boston. but july? so much no.

my tv is suddenly working again the headache's gone! thank you.

That kind of novella would drive me nuts-- those types of characters drive me nuts, in RL as well as in books! Stop kvetching and DO something about your problems!

Bookmobiles probably saved my sanity growing up. In Portland and Eugene, at least, there are central libraries and bookmobiles. If you don't have transportation to the one library, you rely on bookmobiles to bring you random pieces of it closer to your school or church or what-not. By now, Eugene may have branch libraries (Sacramento has quite a few of them, plus and extensive computerized hold system). But without those, you were stuck with what was at your local school... until you graduated to a new school.

that particular author used to write about mentally ill people A LOT - she works in mental health, so i guess you write what you know - but they were a lot of the same kinds of people. fortunately she branched out. but yeah, it was kind of a trial to read 104 pages about people who need help and won't admit it, and when their friends and partners suggest maybe they get help, they blow it off.

we didn't have bookmobiles when i was a kid, but to be fair nashville probably had more than one library, and my mom used to take me and my sister anyway. i think they're so cool, tho.
