This is to inform you that the library is currently under my management. Any books returned with creases or stains will suffer a fine. I haven't decided what it will be, but rest assured, if you plan on borrowing books, there will be a contract for you to sign. Please check the fine print.

Your recommend reading for the month is this. Enjoy.

Perhaps. I am not a fan of sequels myself.

[grimless]

Really? Why is that?

[dothelokimotion]

They have a tendency to get tedious and repetitive. Who wants a recycled plotline to be used over and over?

[grimless]

I can understand that. But some people find a comfort in the story not ending.

[dothelokimotion]

Those seem like people who use stories to escape.

[grimless]

Probably. The idea of anything ending at all unsettles some people. It's understandable.

[dothelokimotion]

It is a weakness.

[grimless]

You're very cool.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He blinks. ]

Cool? How so?

[grimless]

You just seem very confident in yourself, in what you believe. That's cool.

[dothelokimotion]

I am hundreds of years old. A certain amount of certainty in my opinions is to be expected.

[grimless]

Well there's something else. You look incredible for your age.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Is . . . this a compliment? ]

Thank you?

[grimless]

My pleasure.

[it sure is. haneul has tried to master this sort of confidence. he's not good at it.]

Every time I start the first book in a series, I run right out and buy the rest. When I don't even know if I'll like the first one or not.

[dothelokimotion]

That seems unwise. On many levels.

[ Also bad for one's wallet. ]

[grimless]

I tell myself that it's optimistic.

[dothelokimotion]

Optimism that isn't earned seems like overkill.
