[CALIBK12] an enticing review

[RichardGuy at aol.com]

" . . . the library at night, when “the library lamps are lit, the outside 
world disappears and nothing but this space of books remains in existence.... In 
the dark, with the windows lit and the rows of books glittering, the library 
is a closed space, a universe of self-serving rules that pretend to replace or 
translate those of the shapeless universe beyond.”

" . . . the traditional, historic library and the flashy Internet-based 
equivalent were both treated as though they were conscious entities in this book; 
the former comes across as an erudite, well-read, almost fatherly figure, while 
the latter is the kind of person who has pale skin, and dreams of someday 
talking to an actual girl."

Just sharing,
