Muriel Spark

When I have free time I like to browse through books in the library. Because my university library is organized by Library of Congress standards and not the more familiar Dewey Decimal system, I rarely know what I'll run into. Of course I could look it up but I usually don't know what I'm looking for. A week or two ago, I found the book All the Stories of Muriel Spark. The title interested me (I didn't know what to expect since I'd never heard of Muriel Spark before) and after I read the back cover I knew I'd have to browse through it. Well I didn't get around to it until last night and I think I'm in love. The book is a collection of her short stories and after I had read the first one I knew I'd finish the book quickly.

At work I'm drowning in microfiche. I challenged my coworkers to see if we could finish them all by November 20th and they basically laughed at me. I'm still sticking to the challenge, of course. I doubt I'll finish. Also, it is taking everything in me to not buy a Pumpkin Spice latte every chance I get. I can't believe they are $3.75...
