New titles

The suggestions I have received so far are "Librarians are bloggers too" and "Spreadin' light to the masses." I could combine the two and get "Librarians are light to the masses..." which is perhaps overestimating my own self-importance, but I like it!

Speaking of spreading light, I am just starting to read a book recently recommended to me by Laura: Blindness, by Jose Saramago. I've wanted to read it for a while. If anyone is looking for a recommendation, one I will pass along is In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez. That is one of the most beautiful books I've read in a long time. Alvarez does a lovely job of creating her characters as real people. Often I find books that switch perspectives from character to character to be contrived; in trying to capture every character's voice, authors often fail to capture any. This book is the exception. Each sister is powerfully created and portrayed; each comes alive with her own personality.

Anyone who wants to add more books to my already immense reading list, please feel free!
