why is it that i never really know what i'm doing?

i went to school. got the 27k in debt to prove it. they taught me all kindsa nifty stuff.

and yet, what do i do when an 8 year old pees on the floor in a stream from the self checks to the kids computers? (and just how big is an 8 year old's bladder anyway?) what do i do when a man with garlic and steak breath professes his undying love to me. again. for the 3rd time today.

this is a chronicle of what i did, when the crazy happened. which, in a public library is much more often than you'd think. and which, they also don't teach you about in liberry skool.

oh, and there's also a book review or two.

Rules of CivilityRules of Civility by Amor Towles


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Towles, Amor. Rules of Civility. 10 CDs. 11.5 Hours. Penguin Audio. 2011. ISBN: 978-0-14-242927-3 $39.95. F




Rules of Civility tells the story of Katy Kontent's 1938. When she and her roommate Eve Ross meet handsome, wealthy Tinker Grey on New Year's Eve, a friendly competition starts between them to gain his affection. By spring, the rivalry develops into a romantic love triangle. After a terrible car accident in which Eve is disfigured, Katy backs out only to find that their triangle may have been a square. Narrated by Rebecca Lowman who fetches New York 1930's gin and jazz, decorating characters with her accents. A swell tale full of ring-a-ding-ding atmosphere and a leading lady who is hard boiled aces. Recommended to fans of The Adults by Alison Espach.
