Predictably, working at the library has had me reading even more voraciously than ever. Every time I'm shelving or handling returns, I spot stuff I want to read. I can't check all of it out at once, so now my cellphone has a number of pictures on it of book covers and spine labels as I try to at least catch a reminder of books I want to read when I get the chance so I can find them in the stacks later. This year's list covers nearly 4 pages in my notebook, outpacing all previous years.
