You sniveling little…
I was going through the catalogue of the Baltimore County Public Library system after reading about two authors I’d come across on Wikipedia while Wikiwhacking. One author, Octavia Butler, wrote a trilogy called Xenogenesis and…of course I wanted to snap it up as soon as I saw the synopsis. I won’t give it away but I will enjoy reading it. It’d be a nice change of pace from the books I’ve been reading lately on cannibalism and recipes. Anyway…
The other author, Iain M. Banks appears to have an interesting premise as well and, if you know me, you’ll know my motivation in reading his books. Aside from good Science Fiction.
The thing about the BCPL is this: We’ve got an electronic checkout and hold system and, to my amazement, I found most of the Iain Banks books checked out at every branch. Now, he’s either really popular (sorry if I don’t know this!) or someone’s being a book hog. Based on what I’ve read so far, I’m inclined to believe the former even if the latter also happens to be true.
Throw me some comments people. And candy. That’s always lovely.
