He hated capitalism and television. I'd have used a fake name, too.

I didn't read the book.

However, in a semi-related way, my local library had to take out all the computers for one day or so when the tables were being replaced. (The old ones were fine, IMO, but the staff apparently thought they needed upgrading.)

So for that one day, when I was there, I felt almost as if I had been transported to a scene from my childhood. A library where only delayed gratification was available. It was ecstasy.

(Sort of like walking in the woods and suddenly coming across a beautiful, unpolluted brook you didn't know was there. I like to think that the sight of quiet running water in the wild always lowers one's blood pressure. Children certainly love small streams, anyway.)
