Last night, one of my friendly neighborhood librarians informed me that I’d reached the maximum — 35 books — and would have to return something before I could check out anything more. And I wasn’t even trying!
Back later with today’s Radar post.

It is very bittersweet for me, because I have discovered that endless public libraries is one of the things I miss the most while being overseas, along with baths (even the nicest Mexican houses usually only have showers), listening to NPR in the car, thrift stores, yard sales, and Vietnamese food.
Then again, there will be lots of Vietnamese food where I’m going, so maybe I’ll luck out librarywise too.
