It's sad that I want one of these. But, other than Internet access and faxes, this is the issue I deal with the most.

"I'll put it on my list!"
My lovely co-workers at Smyrna hear me say this several times a day. In fact, I'm surprised there isn't a drinking game involved by now. They've heard me say it, but they've never seen it.
Believe it or not, I really do keep track of all the books that catch my eye at work, in reviews, blogs and bookstores or books that are recommended to me by patrons, friends, etc. There isn't enough room for me to publish the whole obnoxious list, but here's a portion of it.
So, what's your favorite book? Think I'll like it? ;-)
