I’ve decided to be nice to the FBI. I’m going to save them the trouble to bother my local librarian to find out what I intend to check out from the library and write my list here instead. OK, it’s a tiny bit selfish as I’ve discovered that I often forget my list when I get to the library – and if I have it available on the web all I have to do is print it out. This is a list in progress, mind you. I would ask my San Leandro readership to not be mean and check these books out before I get to them.
Currently available at the library.
