Recently I have been having some really random conversations with people. Some of whom I know, and others who I do not know. Here are some snippets below:
Boy Librarian Who Likes Graphic Novels: "You like comic books?!" Me: "Not really. I just am taking a class on them soon so I was going to get a head start on reading them." BLWLGN: "Maus is such a good starter for you then. Art Spigelman did such a good job on the story and illustrations. It really goes into detail about the Holocaust. And each animal represents someone from that time period." Me: "Okay... thanks?" BLWLGN: "Watchmen is good too." Me: "Dually noted. The professor must think so too 'cause it's on the reading list."
Me: "Yeah, I am checking out all of these books for my capstone class. It should be fun." Girl Librarian Who Loves Vampire Novels: "I would not call these fifteen books fun! It's on religion." Me: "Exactly. It's a bit different than what I have been reading lately - vampire novels." GLWLVN: "No way! I LOVE vampire novels. Have you read Anne Rice? Patricia Briggs? RICHELLE MEAD?" Me: "No. But have you read Charlene Harris, Kimberly Raye, Laurell K. Hamilton, or P.C. & Kristin Cast?" GLWLVN: "No. Let me write these down, and I'll make you a list." (I still have that list and intend on reading all of those books soon. This girl [not me - GLWLVN] wants to be a librarian so I am gonna take her reading suggestions seriously.)
There have been more, but at the moment I need to be focusing on health care financing, retirement security and immigration policy. Whew that's a load. Thank God I am not the President of the United States.
Cheers,
Hilary
