It only lasted half the day, but London had a good dusting of snow Wednesday morning. I grinned the whole way to work.
Meanwhile, could any of you lend me £9,300 for a lifetime membership with The London Library? I'm going to check it out in person tomorrow, but just from looking at the website - my god is it unreal. We're talking stuff like...
- 14 kilometers of shelving
- Exhaustive collections of various serial publications, including a run of the London Times spanning 185 years.
- A membership roster which has included the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin.
- A private chamber for people like yours truly to masturbate furiously in reaction to the sheer volume of lendable literature avaliable.
Does this make me strange? I don't think it makes me strange.
I hope the chamber is free tomorrow!
Meanwhile, we are nearing the last page of the Treatment. Woooooooo!
I am a man who is highly excited by reading and writing.

you have to pay to be a member?
weird library
Book Porn for Oliver. Enjoy it, my fellow true bibliopervert.
hahhaha this makes you strange. Hilariously strange. But I am Damn. Jealous. Damn you and your London living!
London Living is pretty okay! It'd be nicer if I knew more people, but that is slowly changing for the better.
I'd do up an entry and all but basically I got to the library and was only able to observe the antechamber since I AM NOT A MEMBER.
Mark my words, I WILL BE. Some people buy cars or have kids. I will be a member of this library some day...
To Anonymous - it is unusual, I know. But in this case it is a private library run entirely on contributions without government funding. I'm not sure why it doesn't have government support though, as I gather The British Library does and almost certainly the plucky local libraries I've investigated in my own neighborhood and near my work in Barking.
Also, thanks Tom! When I'm not checking the internet out in narrow time slots at work or cafe's, I shall plumb the depths of that particular website.
Joining the London Library comes to less than 1 pound per day per year.
How much did you spend on comics?
With kindest regards.
You fool! Now everyone knows that I am a secret pervosexual!

Also you make a point, parents!
