I pulled this together for all my patrons that never had time to read while they were working, but now they do because they are retired. Also, for anyone interested in sampling Retirement Fiction. Any suggestions for more Retirement Fiction?

Do you have a favorite brand of toilet paper? It kind of seems like the sort of thing you should say, "No, I buy whatever's on sale that week.", no? That's what a classmate said about having a favorite brand of cola. Brand was not strong in that fellow.

#NationalAIInWorkDay How do you feel about AI in your work...if it's there? We don't have it at our library yet, but you can be sure it will be there sooner than later. Should I be afraid? Should patrons be afraid of being replaced by AI readers? #BookoftheDay

How many have you read? I have to admit I've read none of them, but then that true of most books. Who could read them all? But, I'd want them at the library in case I did want to read them, so I check my library system and cast a circulation vote whenever a ban of any variety comes up.

What AREN'T your reading? Something that's too popular, too trendy, too by a cancelled author? Something that somebody else told you not to? Something you can't get at the library? There are plenty of books I'm not reading, but nothing leaps to mind as "won't read". Suggestions?

I'm not a big "Hated it!" kind of person. I like the idea of an anti-display, though. What would you put on this display?

Do you regularly read books over 1000 pages? Have you read more than none? That's a long way to go to the end, so it must have been fairly decent if you did. Can you think of any great books over 1000 pages that aren't already on this list?

I love when libraries do this! It reminds me of when I was in grade school and there were so few tv stations that we all watched and talked about the same shows at school. Does your library do this kind of thing?
