The People's Library of OWS is not being "Safely Stored"

Submitted by alycia on Tue, 11/15/2011 - 17:56

No library can be safely stored when it has been removed from its librarians by force in the middle of the night.
No library is being safely stored when it is kept from its readers.

Daily Reading Log

February 20-21, 2012

  • Finished Planned Obsolescence

February 19, 2012

  • More of Planned Obsolescence

February 17-18, 2012

  • Being sick is really getting in the way, but I managed to read a bit more of Planned Obsolescence and finish 1Q84, which I think has at least 300 too many pages and was not worth finishing somehow :(

February 14-16, 2012

Amidst fevers and coughs:

  • More of 1Q84, which is weird to read when sick, mostly because in the third book everything is getting pretty repetitive
  • Planned Obsolescence, which I'm really enjoying, as I can, as I recover

February 14, 2012

I AM HORRIBLY SICK.

  • Still reading Debates, and OA news, and trying to get better quick.

February 13, 2012

  • What's been happening over at one of my old libraries is pretty amazing to see
  • More of Debates in the Digital Humanities and related homework

February 7-10, 2012

  • Just 1Q84 on the train.

February 6, 2012

  • RSS feeds over coffee, especially enjoyed Printeresting this morning
  • Homework: Debates in the Digital Humanities
  • More 1Q84. Since I already ruined Chip Kidd's intention with this thing (took off the slip cover, wrinkled the back binding board in the bath), I am tempted to just slice it into the three books and save my back.

February 4-5, 2012

  • More of 1Q84. Getting more into the parts that make it obviously Murakami (not that the other parts weren't--just further into the fantasy side of things...)

February 3, 2012

  • More Murakami, still in small bits.

February 2, 2012

  • After seeing someone reading the new Murakami on a train platform yesterday (and seeing that they were further along than I am--after a month of reading and not reading it), I lugged it along on my commute.

February 1, 2012

  • Started LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness, traveling from work to school.

January 30, 2012

  • "Pictures will be graded on sincerity and evidence of time spent using up your crayons." (If only all art teachers were this straightforward.)
  • More of The Marriage Plot. Probably will finish it today and look into more Eugenides.

January 29, 2012

  • The Marriage Plot. Sympathizing with Leonard perhaps too much, from multiple perspectives.
