It’s quite sad that no one has blogged since February. So I decided to leave a note for this sad little blog.

I love the library!

That is all.

Implied Spaces

Follow Aristide, a sword-bearing scientist, in a rolicking space adventure as he tries to solve a mystery – who or what is trying to take over humanity and why? At his side, is the cat Bitsy, the avatar of the planet-sized computer Endora. Even with a super computer at his side, Aristide confronts zombies, gets captured, and even killed several times. This is a fun read and a great first book for someone who wants to try the science fiction genre.

The Spartanburg Public Library is hosting the first annual reading festival for teens, teencentric! This year, it will be held on Saturday, January 30th from 12:45 to 4pm in the Barrett Room at the Headquarters Library. This event will allow local teens to meet a famous author and have a special day to celebrate teen reading. Our guest author this year is Tamora Pierce, author of several teen fantasy series including Beka Cooper and The Circle of Magic. We will also have a performance by Spartanburg High indie pop band Sing Sing 76, free carnival-style snacks and a photo booth! The event is open to all ages, so you’re welcome to come, but priority seating is reserved for teens.

Celebrities&Crime

You might think that only the people in your neighborhood can commit crime. Well, it’s many of our popular celebritites that have too. It doesn’t matter who you are. I really enjoyed reading this book. It reminds our fellow Americans that just being famous does not keep you from going to jail. IF YOU CAN’T DO THE TIME DON’T DO THE CRIME!

The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis

alwaysallie — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:41:31 +0000

The Screwtape Letters is well, obviously a series of letters written by a demon who goes by the name of Screwtape. He writes to his juvenile nephew giving him advice on how he can please their “Father Below”.

The books gives some insights on religion, politics, and satires the way a human lives their life.

WARNING: This is a Lewis classic, and is written as such. There are big words and illustrations that are difficult to read. You may have to reread many passages to understand the concepts he presents.

Other than that, its a great book! You may actually learn a thing or two.

The Seriously Funny Life of Mel Brooks

greil2332 — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:11:04 +0000

This biography about the famous Director/ Actor is very informative about Mel Brook’s life. He started life as a Russian Jew raised Melvin Kaminsky. James Robert Parish details most every tidbit of information about Mel Brooks, describing his early career in the Jewish Catskills and his experiences in World War II. I highly recommend this book for Mel Brooks fans and also anyone who does not know who Mel Brooks is.
