A safe place for bookworms, nerds, wordies, grammar-Nazis and would-be members of the Literarty.
What is this?
The CNG Lending Library doesn't actually exist - not in the physical sense. It is more a concept. A fellowship.
It is about sharing works of literature. It is about combining the libraries of four journalists who between us, figured we probably had enough titles to keep each other amused without a visit to A&R/Dymocks/Borders.
It is about afternoons wrapped-up on the couch under a doona with Dickens. It is about evenings cocooned in bed with Atwood or Picoult or Kerouac.
The rules are simple:
1. Loan and lend in good faith.
2. Respect the volume, the owner and the author.
3. Never take a book into the loo.
4. Always return promptly.

Oh yes sorry - I have been awfully slack. It's very dull but I more or less agree with what you said.
The way he accepts his situation and doesn't really talk about why he's doing it or what he hopes to achieve is strange but appealing.
It's not amazingly written but at the same time it's very compelling. I didn't have the same reaction as you, in terms of feeling the cold, but I did find myself dwelling on it a bit and thinking about things around me in terms of how resourceful I could be.
I keep forgetting to bring the damn book in but I swear I'll do it one of these days and I believe Ms Watts has her hand up for it...
