More crossfire, sir? (week 6)

So, for the most part I found that the sites listed in this week's lesson were very cool. Although, when I played around with What Should I Read Next?, it was recommending some pretty odd crap. I typed in Jeeves and the Tie that Binds by P.G. Wodehouse (the guy is HILARIOUS! I don't care what anybody says), and it gave me a list that included some french album, and a novel having to do with young bright eyed Americans being sent to fight in the Korean War.

Call me dumb, but I fail to make the connection. Exploding mortar and flying body parts to the accompaniment of lovely french melodies has nothing to do with a genius valet constantly extricating his bumbling employer from ludricous (and HILARIOUS) situations in 1920 England.

Let's see, what's my favorite library technology? Well, I really enjoy when we have those snowman and now Super Squirt contests where you can design your own snow creature or superhero from the Froot of the Loom Justice League (is there an orange in the Froot of the Loom logo? I can only recall the apple and grape). Seriously, though, I think that the Homework Help that we offer is very cool, and so is Netlibrary. Both are good examples of how the library can offer information to it's patrons' without them ever having to step into our buildings.

I've never read Wodehouse, but I freakin' LOVE Jeeves and Wooster the series. I got into it when I realized Hugh Laurie (House, M.D.) was Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry as Jeeves? Come on. It doesn't get better than that.
