Fallen in Love
I love libraries. They smell nice and they're very quiet. Who wouldn't want to spend a whole day of their Thanksgiving Break here? Where else can you find an 8 volume, 85 pound, red-leather-bound set of books on the History and Literature of France--in French? I can find books on Milton and the Literary Satan just a few dozen yards away from Aristotle's Politics and John Stuart Mill's On Liberty and Control. Walking down the aisles I can learn that Cowboy Poetry Matters. I can find out about the Practical Uses of Dyes in Biology. I don't know what Blonde is about, but I could find out. Isn't it fantastic? I am amazed at my own self-control as I sit, ready to leave, taking only 13 of these literary gems with me.
