By “library smut” I am in no way referring to the photo books on native peoples, or the illustrated health manuals, or any of the other volumes which, in your childhood, you lurked about the library aisle to find with the sole purpose of sneaking guilty glances at naked bodies. Nor am I referring to the “risqué” novels by Miller, Cleland, Réage, or Lawrence you leafed impatiently through as a teenager. No. What I’m talking about here is the full-frontal objectification of the library itself. Oh yeah. —Red-Hot and Filthy Library Smut (The Nonist)
Mmm…. stacks… tables… books…

Bibliorgy! That’s hilarious. I just googled that word and it came up blank. You’ve coined another great term to go along with “drive-by blogging“!
Wow. Objectification of the male gender does exist! Only in the romance languages… ie: livre (fr, a masc. noun). But, alas, in the Slavic languages it would be a feminine objectification… ie: kniha (sk, feminine noun).
But with the onset of Queer Theory and Third-Wave Feminism, perhaps we should challenge these gender assumptions and have one big bibliorgy! ;c)
My mom visited the library in Dublin. She was like, “I stood there–I was right there.”
Beautiful collection of photos. I sent the link to my boss at the library where I work.
I’m satisfied with the first week of classes. Lots of new faces, and the chance to teach cool stuff to lots of familiar faces. It was great hearing from you.
What a way to pass the day. I don’t think I’ll ever stop being an English major.
Hi Dr. Jerz…how are you? I hope this year turns out to be fun for you and the students.
