Okay, so I've been giving into a temptation that may become a naaaaasty habit.

I've been scanning the books that I'm cataloging.

This is very bad. I'm supposed to be cataloging, not reading. But . . . but, . . . they sit there, and they call to me. "Reeeeeaaaad meeeeee . . . "

There was one I picked up today, though, that bit me.

Lillian R. Lieber wrote some of the strangest stuff I've ever seen.

"This is not intended to be
free verse.
Writing each phrase on a separate line
facilitates rapid reading,
and everyone
is in a hurry
nowadays."


Every sentence told me she was the poster-child for the modern mathematicians gone philosophical pikers league we learned about in senior math. I'm sooooo not even kidding. If you ever want to read something really weird, pick up one of her books.



And she looked so conservative and normal on the outside. *shrug*
Go figure.
