We Always Like To See What Other People Are Reading

Once in a while I let my curiosity take me all over the library. The other day it made me stop in front of the "returned books" cart. I was somewhat amazed and impressed by what I saw. We're having a run on the Classics!
Look at these that had been checked out and returned:
The Great Novels of Mark Twain,
Edgar A. Poe's Selected Stories and Poems,
Steinbeck's stories (several),
Howard's End by E. M. Forester, and
Robinson Crusoe.
But the Classics weren't the only great books being read. How about:
Beloved by Toni Morrison,
Flower Net by Lisa See,
Dashing Through the Snow by Mary Higgins Clark, and
Dragonseyes by Anne McCaffrey.
Several of Anne Tyler's books had been checked out, including A Patchwork Planet. And several of James Patterson's books had been out, including Beach Road. Julie Garwood was another much-read author, including her book Fire & Ice.
There were other interesting reads that had been checked out also, such as:
Journeys of a Lifetime, a National Geographic book,
Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, MD,
Hyper Kids by Lendon H. Smith, MD, and
Cross Creek Cookery by Marjorie Rawlings.
Now, isn't that an interesting bunch of books? We have a community with such a wide array of interests. It's also interesting to see how many people coming into the library will stop at the "returned books" cart before they go to the stacks.
We always like to see what other people are reading, don't we?
