Happy Reading is Fun Week?

On Tuesday we had a meeting after work. I brought all my stuff with me to the meeting; my hoodie, my lunchbag, and, unfortunately, my book. Immediately upon my sitting next to one of the girls from the activities department, she noticed it. She always asks me what I'm reading, but when I'm reading things like "Les Miserables" (at work they just roll their eyes at that one: 'again?'), "Quiet Strength," or "Watership Down" (stupid Lost-recommended bunny book), she just says, "Oh, that sounds interesting." But this time, my book was "The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way." She perked up. "Oh! Bill Bryson! I like him! Is it any good?" I said, "Yes. I'm enjoying it immensely. But then, I'm a huge language geek. The history interests me. I guess I don't know what other people would think."
So yes, reading was very fun this past week.
At least for the first part of it.
I had three books checked out from the library this time, and this was the third one. It was due on Friday, but I was only half-way through. So on Thursday I went to the library website to renew it. And couldn't. Because someone had it on hold. I was very much surprised and disappointed. I was so enjoying this book! But it's kind of geeky. Why would anyone think to put it on hold? Oh! Crap.
