I’m going on another reading spree, this time on relationship

At some point in time, I will be annoyed enough to write a non-(mouse
and pageload)-intensive way to say “Request all selected books and
have them delivered to my nearest branch.”

Argh. Little inefficiencies like that annoy me. That is so getting

Props to W- Young for helping me get all
those books to Graduate House! =) He’s awesome.
