Here is an interesting book for those Techies who would rather spend time with a computer than a girl/boyfriend. LOVE+SEX WITH ROBOTS by David Levy is a very interesting, and serious book on how and why people love things other than other people, like pets, appliances and their computers. In chapter 5, Why We Enjoy Sex, David says that reactions to the idea of a robot capable of performing sex acts range from outrage to "where can I buy one?" In STNG's episode, Naked Again (a remake of Captain Kirk's Naked Time) we learn that Lieutenant Yar is able to satisfy her desire for a partner with Mr. Data, an android who despite his positronic neural net is fully functional, and programmed in multiple techniques. This is not the first book on computers and robots David Levy has written, but it is one of the most oddball books I have seen on high tech. 
A fascinating, and titillating book that may change your idea of a perfect partner. We have it in the Medical section, and we promise to be discrete! 

Calling all Tributes and soon to-be Tributes!

(I just learned that this is your fandoms name after extensive research.)

Are you missing either of these books for your collection?

Possibly needing a refresher for what is going to happen when Mockingjay pt.2 hits theaters?

Come pick up these precious babies! They deserve a nice home on your bookshelf where they will be loved, because this is a fantastic book series (and the movies are pretty great too!)

Hey everybody! 

It's the end of August, so we all know what that means....

School is almost in session!!

Here at the library, we have a string of books from the popular Goosebumps series!

What better way to start the school year off than picking up some spooky stories?

And can I get a Hey-oooo! for the new Goosebumps movie coming out this October?

This horror series is aimed at ages from around 7 - 13 years old (though I would say that it really depends on you, the parent, and your child's interests to make the call on whether they are mature enough, my best suggestion is to watch a couple episodes of the show.) All the books are easy and fast reads, there is no *real* order that they have to be read in (though on occasion there are sequels.)

Come check them out! 

The Bad Speller's dictionary is just what the doctor ordered if you are such a bad speller even Google can't help you. Look up Elektristy to find the spelling for Electricity. Look up Poletry to find out how to spell Poultry. Commonly misspelled words are listed alphabetically by their misspelled spelling, which makes sense. If you use a diktionery you have to know how to spell dictionary to find its entry! A great tool for writers who can't spell.  Get it today, if you wait it could have been bought yestiday, I mean, yesteday... I mean yesturday!

We have a paperback copy of P. J. O'Rourke's All The Trouble In The World in the Economics section at the Booknook. This terribly funny book examines the lighter side of war, famine, overpopulation and various troubles in the world. Especially troubling is Bangladesh's Jute industry! P.J. points out in his chapter Famine: All Guns, No Butter, that the problem in Somalia is not a lack of food, there's plenty of food in Somalia. The problem is that it is in the possession of people with guns. P.J. suggests that instead of donating food to Somalia, maybe we should donate guns so the food can get to the people who don't currently have guns. In the chapter on Overpopulation: Just Enough Of Me, WAY Too Much Of You, P.J. points out that while Al Gore is constantly haranguing people about having too many kids and contributing to Global Warming, he himself has 4 kids and 3 grandkids, which fits perfectly in this chapter. Sure people love their OWN kids, they just hate being outbred by the neighbors who come from places they have never even heard of. Whether you are conservative or liberal you will find yourself laughing out loud at this book, which even has some nice things to say about Vietnam! At the Booknook for only $1!

Are you an anime fan?
Do you like Naruto?
How about One Piece?
Yu-Gi-Oh!?!?

HAVE WE GOT A FIND FOR YOU!!!

     Recently, a very generous anime fan donated various issues of Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat manga magazines from over the last 10 years. 

     Unfortunately, no one has picked any up! Now, as someone who likes (some) anime, this saddens my heart! 


     So please, come down to The Book Nook and give this box of treasure a new home, where they will be loved deeply!

:D
