"Libraries are brothels for the mind. Which means that librarians are the madams, greeting punters, understanding their strange taste and needs, and pimping their books. That's rubbish, of course, but it does wonders for the image of librarians".

"In most libraries, there is as section of large-print books. The print is so large, in fact, that most of the text has to be removed. For example, in 100 Years of Solitude, you'll be lucky to get 40 Years of Moderate Loneliness."
