what a fun and easy read, with a couple of touching, heartfelt moments. life at the public library is a lot more complicated than what you think, apparently. of course i don’t expect that my local librarians have quite the same daily trials as the folks in this book (non-fiction, btw). but then they aren’t running a branch library of a major city (in this case l.a.). not as funny as billed, more thought-provoking than advertised.

sometimes i lay in bed before getting up and dream up the ultimate computer network for our house. it involves a computer-run media center, many redundant terabytes backup drives and a big networked laser printer.
what can i say about this book? it's a lovely memoir of julia child's arrival in paris, her journey learning the language and discovering her life's passion in cooking.
the whole story is special to me, having grown up watching her show on television. mrs. child taught me a great many things about cooking (including the fact that mistakes are okay) and her warm, engaging style comes through in the text. i could hear her warbly voice in my head the entire time i was reading.
