erastes

For some reason I have never been able to ascertain, The Dog’s Bollocks is a euphemism for The Best THING EVAH. Perhaps it is because they can lick their own, and men have to have ribs removed (or to have a lifetime of contortionist training) to do so.

Anyway. With that lovely image in your mind – Great Yarmouth Library is the definitely brilliant. For a start off it’s SELF SERVICE which I have no clue how that works. So freaking cool and excellent for grumpy misanthropes. All you do is put your books into a cupboard and somehow it recognises all the titles. So no disapproving arseholes complaining about a cat hair caught in between the pages.

PLUS they have a teeny tiny gay section (knowingly called “Loud and Proud” and I found PA Brown’s LA Heat there, which of course I had to borrow, just for solidarity. I mean how cool is that, to have someone’s book in a local library who is on one’s friends list? very! that’s how cool. I shall be ordering as many gay books as i can to make the section bigger.

And they have a cafe!! cake!

My book haul, apart from LA Heat is “Lord John and the Hand of Devils” which I’m fairly sure I’ve read but LJ is so bloody bland I can’t remember a word of it. “Mr Midshipman Fury” by GS Beard (Age of sail)(I doubt if there’s any sailor snoggage) Buccaneer by Tim Severin (piratey goodness) and Obelisk by EM Forster.

Still no Spring though.
