"More Information than You Require," and "The Areas of My Expertise," the two satirical almanacs by John Hodgman. These books are necessary reading for being alive.

Michelle Tea's Rent Girl is listed as lost in Tripod. Could we get a replacement copy, please?

Charles - I've requested that we purchase both titles. Until they get here, you might want to check out this video - John Hodgman: A brief digression on matters of lost time (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/john_hodgman_s_brief_digression.html)!

Can the library get a copy of Brisingr? It's the third in a trilogy of which the library has the first two.

Sarah - BMC has ordered a replacement copy. It should be on the shelves soon!
David - Thanks for the suggestion! I'll see what we can do about getting it.

"Touch the Sound" - awesome documentary film that explores the connections among sound, rhythm, time, and the body by following percussionist Evelyn Glennie, who is nearly deaf.

Ivana - Thanks for the suggestion! I've passed your request along to the bibliographers for review.

Can we please get Professor Azade Seyhan's new book: Tales of Crossed Destinies: The Modern Turkish Novel in a Comparative Context.
I really would like to read it.

Can we please add this to our DVD collection:
Generation Kill (2008)
"Based on the national best-selling book by Evan Wright, Generation Kill is an authentic and vividly detailed 7 part HBO mini-series event that presents a uniquely epic and intimate portrait of the first 40 days of the Iraq war from the perspective of the Marines of the First Recon Battalion – a new breed of American soldiers. Written and produced by Emmy-award winner David Simon (the Wire), and also produced by the award-winning George Faber (Elizabeth I)."

If you're looking to get more TV-on-DVD series, I'd recommend Dexter, from Showtime. It's a crime/forensics show like CSI, except the main character is himself a serial killer.

Dexter - Are you crazy???
It's a light crime/forensics show and different from CSI !!!

It would be spectacular if the library got more of Keith Smith's bookbinding books. The one that Swat has (Non-adhesive) is always out and the others in his manuals are interesting too.
