bringing me to a grand total of 24 items currently checked out. I need to learn to read faster! haha. Doesn't help that the two books I'm currently in the middle of are both not library books (sex and the slayer and alias) and I keep playing Lumines instead of reading 'slave day' by Rob (veronica mars) thomas.

oh well, that's why the library gods gave us renewals.

The theme of "Setting Sun" seems to be John Constantine's unfortunate position of being the only person equipped to deal with the most horrible supernatural things imaginable.

There are four stories. In the first Constantine is called by the cops to deal with an apartment room where so many murders have happened that anyone who goes in there becomes instantly homicidal. In the second, a Japanese war criminal cannot rest in peace until he's told someone every last atrocity he'd ever committed.

I forget what the third story is, and the fourth is fairly tame (if I remember correctly), dealing with all of John's old girlfriends.

They're all well-written, but as we've discussed, they're quite intense.

I've always been reluctant to request that my library get certain books. It sounds like complaining, and it's the kind of thing I'd want to discuss with someone like you, instead of someone like them.

So, move to Surrey, and get a job at the Newton library, okay?
