So I’m finally reading The Kite Runner (which I’ve owned for 2 years and only just now got around to reading), and I’ve got to say that this narrator is a pretty shitty person. I feel bad for all the characters except him, and I don’t know if that’s how I’m supposed to feel about him or not, but he’s a total bitch, and fairly unlikeable. I’m just trying to finish the book as quickly as possible so I can move onto a new book with characters who don’t suck so much. :/

  • When not all the books in the series are the same height.
  • When books change covers with editions so they don’t all match unless you buy the series in one go.
  • When some books are hardcover and some are softcover and it doesn’t match but you can’t find another copy.
  • When some covers are different in certain countries so you don’t get the main one which also happens to look better than all the other varieties.
  • Basically just books.
  • God damn them.

Inspired by Worthington Libraries: Blind Date with a Book!

We started with ~40 books. Two hours later, all but four had found homes with library patrons (sorry, Flush, Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, Persepolis, and The Things They Carried, they don’t know what they’re missing).

Now, to send forth a new fleet of exciting books into student arms. Whew!
