The holidays seemed a good time to make a bit more use of the ebook-lending services offered through my municipal library. (Not only can I borrow books from them without heading out to a branch, I can do that beyond the city limits.) I’ve had a few titles recorded in an iPad application to get around to, but sometimes I’ll call up that list to start sort of blinking at a book or two that isn’t even “available after so many days on the hold list” but can only be “suggested,” and I’m left wondering if I missed that when adding the title or if that had actually changed. The thought of that made me jump at one particular novel, Famous Men Who Never Lived by the enigmatically named K Chess. (There was an author’s photo and biography at the back of the ebook, though.)
