THE MAGIC AND THE DANGER OF FICTION IS THIS: it allows us to see through other eyes. It takes us to places we have never been, allows us to care about, worry about, laugh with, and cry for people who do not, outside of the story, exist. There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.

Librarians are the coolest people out there doing the hardest job out there on the frontlines. And every time I get to encounter or work with librarians, I'm always impressed by their sheer awesomeness.

There are some as are what they are. And there are some as aren't what they seem to be. And there are some as only seem to be what they seem to be.

I mean, maybe I am crazy. I mean, maybe. But if this is all there is, then I don't want to be sane.
