That's right: me, the Advanced Placement Literature student, Cultural Studies major, Star Wars book nerd, and longtime Protagonizer, has never had a library card. Until now!
Today I picked up my first ever library card for the Banff Public Library, with which I promptly borrowed Edgar Rice Burroughs' first volume of "The Collected John Carter of Mars." I now have a growing list of films to borrow from the library, and have yet to even look at the CD collection. If there's anything in the jazz family, you can be sure I'll borrow that, too. Hopefully this won't turn me into some sort of book hermit, the literary equivalent of a crazy cat lady.
That's all I have to say. It's reading time!

And now, Jack, you've also the sweet agony of reserving a book currently out on-loan...to a back-packer doing her (let's make her a her) grand tour of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa...and she has an open return ticket :D

'John Carter'...such an ordinary-sounding name. Introspective otherwise-unheroic character study, is it? ;]
John (also known as Jack in one part of the book) is a Confederate soldier who somehow ends up naked on Mars. So far so good!
