Fri, 15 Dec 2006 06:07:44 +0000 http://yodellingllama.com/?p=666#comment-3835 [...] As I mentioned before, the Seattle Public Library has been a bit stingy lately about getting me the books I requested. So I’ve been digging into my own library. I finished Ender’s Game for the third time today. And started Siddhartha for the third time. The former is a lovely book, full of excitement, adventure, and really wild things. The latter, however, is one that I’ve never been able to get into. For some reason, Hesse has this tendency to put me to sleep, such that I’ve never made it even through the first fifty pages of Siddhartha. Today was no exception. I fell asleep on the bus somewhere around 45th, and woke up somewhere around 145th. I had to walk back down to 127th in my semi-dress shoes, which are poorly constructed, awful walkers, and not good in inclement weather. That added another fifteen minutes or so to the journey.

So, you god-damned leech-- you're reading books from the library! Do you know how you got that book? Hard-working capitalists who do the ultimate good by making money were forced by a robber-mooch government to give part of that money that they earned by the sweat of their brow to the county and city. Then the county and city took that stolen money and built the library and bought those books. You, by using the library, are participating in that theft. You didn't earn that book! You do not deserve to read that book unless you buy it with money you earned! For shame, for shame!
