I am back home in Dublin for the weekend. There is much significant stuff to talk about.

I'm going to talk about a silly thing first, though. In the Mind-Body-Spirit section of Eason's on Talbot Street, they have a display of the well-known self-help and relationship advice manual, 'The Rules of Attraction' by Bret Easton Ellis.

Someone came into our library asking for "The Secret Garden" - we tried really hard to offload Frances Hodgson Burnett on her, but it turned out she actually wanted the one by Nancy Friday (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0671019872/qid=1067625196/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-1045639-5704162?v=glance&n=507846)...

We'd loaned out all our copies of that to some little kids the week before, though, obviously.

(Ah, you're online!)

How did she explain the difference? Did she blush a lot or was she blunt?
