The problem with library books is that when I buy a book that I very badly want to read (say, Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver), I feel compelled to finish the library books first. This isn't really a problem since I read pretty fast, but I start to resent the books that I'm trying to blow through. They're holding me back. Hennepin County Libraries make it very easy to renew online, but lately I've been unable to renew the books because someone else has them reserved.
So this weekend, I must finish The Overseer. This could be tricky, as I never have the reading time that I want on the weekends.
