I bet The B is chock full of stereotypically TEEN things; they only let teens who look and act and generally are teens in there, while us uncultured, unfashionable folk must browse the battered bookcases.

I’m somewhat of a review nut, because I don’t wanna waste good money or credits or time on a cheesy book, I like to know what I’m gonna read (or watch, BTW).

Oh, jordan and Alassiel, I am closing my PBS account in a few weeks, since Mom doesn’t want her name on there anymore (I log in as her! ) and keeping up two account is gittin’ mighty expensive!!!

I get a lot of books from the kids’ section, get mostly nonfiction from the adults’ section (or order the books beforehand) and go into the teen section only when I need a particular book, rushing back out as quickly as possible in hopes of escaping detection. (The contents [in general] of those shelves are another thing that causes despair.)

*hopes she doesn’t sound too snobbish*

*applauds uproariously at Alyosha’s statements concerning the teen section, then decides that if she’s a snob, he must be, too*

My library doesn’t have any Wii or any such thing. Maybe they have one in the mysterious B. They do tend to have very outdated computer games of the worst in their genre.

As for the whole ‘teen’ section, there is an AMAZING book called Do Hard Things by Brett and Alex Harris. Its all about doing hard things, changing your world, and not being comfortable with the low expectations that teenagers have. It was a wonderful book! Check out http://www.dohardthings.com

I really want to read that–for some reason my library bought the audiobook but not the book. Weird. It looks v. good though.

Someday I’ll get to Do Hard Things, too. It’s sitting on my shelf. *decides that if we’re going to talk about that, it’s time for a new thread*

Nice avatar, Pip!

*sympathies*

Thanks, jordan!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me of any good Star Trek books. I’m a Trekkie!
