    Plot points you can't stomach?

    Heterosexual sex totally icks me out, but I just have to deal with it I guess [/tongue in cheek] (kidding, don't flame me, it was too easy) seriously though, it takes a lot to get me to stop reading a book. I don't think I've ever put a book down because the plot was upsetting me.

    Libraries

    the idea of a library charging for hold bugs me. Why not charge only if you place a hold on something and don't pick it up? That seems far more reasonable. I think libraries should be free. edited because I'm on high doses of antibiotic's, advil cold and sinus AND gravol.
