The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
My branch has a copy, and it appears to be in. I'll have to stop by and see if that's true or if their computer system has gone psycho again.

My branch is tiny, with at most 2 books from any given author. 98% of the books I borrow there come from other branches in the same library system. I just go online, search the online catalog, hit the hold button, choose my hole-in-the-wall branch, and two days later it's waiting for me at checkout.
Maybe your branch can transfer the book for you from another?

Probably.(smacks forehead) I hadn't thought of it.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
That's what I do too, Wolfram. My library is also set up very bizarrely, so sometimes it's easier to get it at the hold desk, if I want something specific, rather than browsing for general reading.

I can't even.
I read it in about a week's worth of giving it half an hour here and there, which is about how I manage to read for fun these days. It was a pretty quick read, I thought. I'm looking forward to the discussion.

I finished re-reading it last night, & I'm also looking forward to the discussion.

Thrive to spite them
I finished and I'm waiting to talk about it, but I also found a used copy of the book the first day I looked.
I need to reread the last part because I think I missed something.
