Digital Libaries

I adore books, but my greatest guilty pleasure are romance novels. I have no idea why people find them so revolting....I of course have a good laugh once and awhile when i see a romance novel with a Fabio wannabe. They are an indeed a comical sight to behold. It's amusing to see that the one always seems so subservient, even though it's written by women(well most all I've read are!!)But regardless the tales of everlasting love are to much for me to resist and i find myself time and time again returning to the genre. The writing isn't remedial or less proficient than that of other genres, but i find that there's a strong hesitation by males as well as female readers. I find these novels fun and easy to read, at times i read 4-5 a week....I know, I know I live a pretty sad existence, but [Anne] I have no friends.
Anyways that was just a small tangent that i had to get into and will later indulge in, but alas I come to my current problem: digital libraries! For the most part they are nice and efficient when i need a quick fix of amore. It's not like I get off on them as crude as that sounds, but they aren't that extreme to leave me breathless and writhing in pleasure(hahaha man I do read too many R-novels, look at how I write!!). OK...ok so back to D-libraries, my criticisms are as follows:


1)Why do they run out of copies? I mean i know that there is a very credible reason for this, but I don't know...


2) Why can I only check out 5 of these so called Books? I want more!!


3)If the book is due at a certain time why doesn't it just return itself?? Isn't all this stuff all computerized and shit!


4) Furthermore why isn't it possible to return a book before the date?


5)Audio Books...for the love of all that is holy why?? If you can't see anymore I'll read to you, I just have a great dislike of audio books, way too slow! To me reading a personal thing, a bond between book and reader...lol.

For now that is all, but stay tune, well as of now I'm writing just for you Anne!
Later topics might include church and feminism...ohh and the pressure of writing research papers that night before they are due!! Just for my lovely little Anne!
