Wow, that’s impressive. You do the library equivalent of what I do in bookstores: spazz out and grab everything in sight. Anything interesting in that pile?

I was only there for about 5 minutes, too. I’m reading ‘Until I Find You’ now, and ‘The Perseids and other stories’. I do not actually remember what the other books I have out are.

Haven’t read Until I Find You, but Amazon just skewers it. For what that’s worth.

I am enjoying it. It’s not his best, by far, and I’m only 100 pages in, but still.

The Perseids: super fucking creepy, and if I have bad dreams about it I will be really, really annoyed. But they’re good.

The creepiest was one about medications — psych ones, mostly — and how they are sending messages that we don’t understand. It was highly disturbing, and I can’t imagine how I’d've read it and kept taking meds, if I were.

Sounds not like my thing so much, The Perseids, that is. I don’t go for creepy, and I have a unjustifiable bias against short stories.

I do that all the time! I always seem to pass the library on my way home, when I don’t have my books to return so I just keep adding to my enormous pile. It doesn’t help that I put books on hold as a way of not forgetting that I wanted to read them. Also, I too have an unjustifiable bias against short stories.

I like short stories, because I am less stuck in a bad one. Science fiction ones are somewhat iffy, but I rather liked these. My mother refuses to read short stories, too.

I think I have a limit of 30 books from the library. I must finish and return these!
