I totally appreciate the library aspect of things, which is why I mentioned it in the post itself. <BR/><BR/>Since I bought the book and am reading it and, most likely, will be posting about it anyway, turning it into a book club is more work, but something I enjoy.<BR/><BR/>So, Sandy, don't worry. <BR/><BR/>Back to the library thing.
