Library Nerd Talks

I'm a library nerd. I admit it. I love to read. But I'm the type of reader that reads a book once and that's it. Of course, every once in a while, I come across a book that's worth keeping to me. And the last book I read? Definite keeper.



Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. It's fantastic! It's a story of Ron and Denver. Two very different men who end up in a beautiful friendship. I highly recommend it. Highly.



So, today at lunch, I went to the library. With my "books to read" list in hand (See? I told you I am a library nerd!), I trucked it on up to the 2nd floor. After quickly researching their online catalog to find out which books they had on hand, I made my way over to pick out a few books.



Now, despite the fact that I visit this library every 2 weeks, usually on Fridays, returning and borrowing books each time, I still don't feel like the employees of this library are friendly. They refuse to act as those they've seen me there before. I finally figured it out today. Librarians? Snotty.



Here's proof:



After making my selections of, granted, a few novels, I proceed to check out. Ole' tall skinny employee who's always working helps me. He's helped me before at least 50 times. Never chit chats. Well, today, I decided I'm breakin' down that wall.



Me: "So, do you read?"

I realize that was a really stupid question. But go with me here.

Skinny: "Yeah"

Me: "I just read a fantastic book."

Skinny cuts me off: "I don't read fiction."

Refer to the first half of this post. My most recent book was not fiction. Thankyouverymuch.
Me: "It's not fiction. "

There may or may not have been a snotty look in my eye when I said that.

Skinny: "Oh, what was it?"

Me: Same Kind of Different as Me. I highly recommend it.



And that was that. I think I might've made headway with Skinny but time will tell.



What are you reading these days?



Now, I've got some silly ole' fiction to dive into. . . .
