binge reading

a real thirst for a good story

1.26.2004

once again, it was to the library i go.
this time on tuesday the 20th, and friday the 23rd.

their graphic novel section wasn't as big as i thought it would be...i wonder if there are lots of them checked out or if the novels in questions were loaned to the library from another collection...
i'm still glad to see them there, though.
