Moments in my life

Brother (reading from book): "Australia did not appear to exist at all. Perhaps they had dug it up and used it for other things."
Me: What are you reading?
Brother: Best of Science Fiction.
Me. Oh. Okay then. That makes perfect sense.

I got my login information for my summer internship last week, and today I poked around at it. One of the links on the navigation bar is for Library, so of course I clicked on it. I'm going to be working in that library this summer, and I wanted to see what sort of library it is, so I did a subject search for Fantasy. And I got hits. Some of them things I might want to read. They appear to have some sort of arrangement with the McNaughton people, who deal with recent books for the FLP - that is, the Free Library of Philadelphia - and there's also a decent collection of children's books in "curriculum lab - juvenile fiction." So I might not be able to get to those, but at least they're there. However, the crowning find of this little search (so far, at least) is this:
Gaming As Culture Essays On Reality, Identity and Experience in Fantasy Games, Edited by J. Patrick Williams, Sean Q. Hendricks and W. Keith Winkler
This sparked my interest, so I clicked on it and discovered that it lists the essays in question in its little blurb.

I need to find and read this book. I don't even know if I have a library card there, but I need to read this book. I could read it on my lunch break.

There's also one on contemporary women's fiction and the fantastic that might be interesting.
