I am pleased to report my trips to the library here in NZ are beautifully uneventful, but I might just stay away from the books of scientific interest from now on. Self help or help yourself? Thin line for that man.
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree with Val McDermid. Occasionally I find myself teaching a book with too few bodies, but on the whole, I am fairly good at squeezing them in - and my students have never complained.
