[Quiet Man Cometh]

Well, apart not drying out my skin, the dust covers mean the slide into the shelf more easily, they don't feel as 'ew,' they are easier to carry in a stack as they are less likely to flop, and they are less prone to getting mushed in a shelf, or having another book stuffed into its pages.

Save me from picture books though. They are large, awkward, heavy, and people borrow them en masse and therefore return them en masse. My poor back!

Finished Coraline. Onto Bunnicula and Goth Crow now. I need to read faster or I'll run out of assignment time.
