Saturday, May 10th is National Train Day! Join us in celebrating the day with this excerpt from Alexander McCall Smith’s newest title Trains and Lovers!
According to old stereotypes, it shouldn’t work - serious librarians should want nothing to do with the raucous, pulp world of comics - and for a long time it didn’t.

In the spirit of openheartedness and what life is really all about, I’ll go so far as to say that the fear of others may mask some deep-seated desire to understand, and maybe even to love. Because really, what is there to be afraid of? Few people today don’t know—or have in their families—at least one loving couple who are raising children, same-sex or not. And it’s really just the loving part that matters. That same-sex marriage could go from its preliminary draft of “diagnosable” to the final edit of “so what?” must indicate some positive evolution on the part of the larger human consciousness. My wife, being a biology teacher, puts it even more succinctly: “Why are all these people so worried about who everybody else is sleeping with, anyway?” (Score two for Moms.)

Critchley’s new book is STAY, ILLUSION! (about “Hamlet” obviously). I wonder if that’s who he is referring to here?
