Finding a book
Blessed be the university library. If you can't find a book, they will track one down for you in some other university somewhere on earth and get it for you. Thus I made a trip in to get The Novellas of John O'Hara, a hard bound copy that looks like it's never been opened, even if it is long out of print. Maybe there's not much demand for the novellas of John O'Hara. But I remember, years ago, reading a novella of his that blew me away, maybe the best novella I'd ever read. I wanted to check it out again, and it only took my university a few weeks to find it. Academia has its advantages.
