removed illegal link? it was 'the bookless library' by david bell. do we have a sitewide ban on new republic links? that's not so terrible I guess

The various rolling librarian threads on here have plenty of links and thoughts on all this, trust me.

i took two unwanted Dickens doorstops to the local leave-a-book-take-a-book thing this morning. but when i got there it was empty. i left them anyway, which is either altruism or littering.

Sometimes the ppl taking care of them do a clean sweep if the same books are in there for months. Bring them to charity shops.
