Rude

By Lovely Rita
I don't know, reads like someone working at a library and just doesn't like it...get another job and hopefully you are replaced with someone less rude.

This isn't the funniest book out there, but for a free book, it's worth the download. Simple, short stores that will make you smile, occasionally broken up by less humorous tales.
Very Funny

I downloaded the book because of the price tag (free!) and could not put it down. I enjoyed it very much, and it was better than the ones I've paid for so far.

I started reading this because it turned up when I did a search on "humor.". I read the first 16 pages and never found anything even remotely close to humorous.

I loved reading these dispatches. They were a great comedic look at the true thoughts and actions of a public librarian. Very nice writing!

Bookish types are sure to get a kick out of this modern librarian's take on the library and the world outside its sacred doors.
