library finds (non-Freegal edition)

Post here when you take something out of the library. There are a million library/librarian threads here but nothing that's specifically for listing your haul.

Finds from the Studio City branch: "The Tassajara Bread Book" and the uncorrected-proof of John Ortved's "Simpsons" book for a dollar at the book sale; Charlie Haden/Pat Metheny's "Beyond the Missouri Sky," Tangerine Dream's "Optical Race," and Richard Thompson's "Action Packed: The Best of the Capitol Years" from the CD shelves; "The Parallax View" from the DVDs, and my hold copy of William Gaddis's "JR," which finally came in.

so incredibly '70s:

I love the Tassajara Bread book. That's were I got my cottage cheese pancake recipe from.

This cumbersome thing: The History of Paris in Painting. Not looking forward to the return. I don't know why I took it out; pathological hoarding I guess.

i have the same hoarding tendencies.

got zizek - the borrowed kettle, a book about chechnya (little corner of hell or something like that), the possibility of an island (houellebecq).

music:
lindstrom - six cups of rebel
lindstrom & christabelle - real life is no cool
so much other stuff i can't remember right now.
THE LIBRARY HAS SO MANY G-D BOX SETS

i'm becoming increasingly reliant on the library these days after pretty much a lifetime of never going or only going for homework or whatever.

sometimes i keep an i love books thread open on my iphone when i go to the library and cross-check between it and the catalog. or do a series search for "new york review of books classics" lol

jeal that your library has lindstrom. my local branch has the naffest CD selection.

it's pretty good on pop/rock in general. the dvds are really strong too.

our library is pretty new, won an ala award in 2007 or whatever. i like the building a lot.

when do yall usually go? sunday afternoons are my lib time.

I browse online and get everything delivered to my local branch so I'll pick up whenever enough stuff is there.

weekend afternoons, usually. our usual routine is to stop by after bagels and coffee.

usual usual usual

"The Tassajara Bread Book"

Love this book so much, I highly recommend the dill bread recipe.
