It's all about the books
Sep. 27th, 2004 12:57 pmI'm not sure whether to be annoyed with the Library or Susanna Clarke's publisher. I thought her reading Wednesday was going to be at the downtown library, but it turns out it'll be over in Bellevue. Bellevue! That's not even the Seattle library system - it's King County! I'm so disgusted.
So I'll be going to the reading on Thursday at the Elliott Bay Book Company, which is a whole new bookstore that I've never been in! Ah, orgies of book lust, here I come.
Finally talked to Dad today, and they're still tentatively coming, with an arrival time sometime Sunday. So I can still go eat apples with Kris and then go to gaming on Saturday, and not miss family-time. It also gives me one more day to clean up, so as not to induce maternal disgust. I'll still get the vague disapproval, but no way am I reducing my library size. My god, I'm contemplating a bigger condo/house just so I can increase my shelf space.
Well, there are other benefits to more space, but it's mostly about the books.
