Just take those old books off the shelf...

...with apologies to Bob Seger (and anyone who has ever heard me sing) I was repeating that little tune the other day as we strolled out of the library, a pile of "new" books tucked under our arms. "We" consisted of a recent graduate of the second grade and myself. For him, Daniel Handler's series of unfortunate events are all-new. For me (donning sheepish look) it's Primary Colors. Seems appropriate in this ridiculous election year, don'tcha think?
