funny & true

This is from one of my favourite cartoons:




I am a librarian and can truthfully attest to the behaviour seen here. I personally gave up after OB but dip in occasionally (I live in hope but live with disappointment). Jim Butcher now provides me with my high quality fix of vampire and magic!

you beat me to it. I was going to but decided to play catchup with livejournal instead. I've seen people like that and not just for Anita Blake.

This is funny because I know people like that. :)

Ahhhh, that brings me back to the days when I used to volunteer at the library. It's so true!

'Nother library worker here. I wonder if my coworker has seen this yet - she follows Unshelved, and has begun to appreciate how awesomely bad the books are. Funfun. ^_^

All I can say is... that was so full of win, you just don't know.

And your fix of misogyny and power-ups every book as well?

I've heard a lot of people talk about these books and I'd like to know a little about them. The covers always looked a little cheesy to me (but then again a lot of covers do) so I never picked them up...but I think you guys have gotten me interested.

Basically, I just wanted to know a little about the books.

I love Jim Butcher -- Thomas is one of my fave characters ever. He's pretty, sensual, but also funny and a great fighter. And he loves his girlfriend, rowr!

I would disagree that Harry's misogynistic. He may have a touch of it, such as his blase response when he sees a man cut to ribbons, compared to his anger when a woman is. But if he were genuinely misogynistic, he'd never go on monster-destroying missions with Murphy or Susan, nor would be be attracted to either strong, capable, monster-butt-kicking woman.

Libraries

I am not currently a Librarian, yet ironically, I am working on my Masters of Library Science. I spend alot of time in the library, especially considering what my Bachelor's is in. I, too, have seen this scene before. They forgot me asking where is the logic in only giving someone two weeks to read a thousand page book.
