Library = Free Books!

Ah, wasn't it great when you first realized that libraries let you check out books, DVDs, music, and so much more for free? The library has kept me supplied with reading material during years of schooling - you know, when you don't have enough cash flow to buy everything you want to read? (Actually, I don't know if we'll ever earn enough for that...)

I'm done waxing poetical about the library (for now) and here is my list of lootage for this week:
