Show '''left'O i by Davkl neither. New books for the library... Park City's library is expected to undergo some major changes in the future which would make it a viable facility for the entire community. This week, the library received 134 new fiction and non-fiction books. The new books are fairly popular, and many of the non-fiction ones will serve as good research material. : : ' "-t-- ' I have several books stashed in my closet that might prove to be unique additions to the library. They aren't very popular, and the majority of them can be read in twenty minutes. Living High on the Hog: This is about a young man in Alaska who sat on top of a hog for 23 days without moving a muscle. The heroic feat brought national fame to the hog-sitter, who was a former mental patient. The book is appropriate for both children and adults. Who Am I? Where Am I Going?! This rather esoteric-tpp was written by a southern California psychiatristiUQOR compass, Dr. Bernard Loser roamed around :tSTpw Angeles every night for three years,- tryin3HMne his; exact location in relation hfe?: hoJU'lai)s and colorful illustrations ,e Incte offers advice on howpfrvJfeVrangers at night. The book is appropriaJe;fbr Bake OfhT5iis thin took deals with the pros and cons of participating in weight-loss summer camps in Spain. It was written by Jose Himinez who spent three grueling months at a camp in rural Spain losing weight with the use of a solar panel. Mr. Himinez writes, "I have discovered that solar" panels are more efficient for weight loss than the use of diet pills." This book is not particularly useful for people who weigh less than three hundred pounds. Forget it, kids. . : Everything Yon Always Wanted to Know About Jogging, But Were Afraid to Ask; The author takes us on a jogging expedition across the United States, beginning in San Diego and ending in New York. Ten boring people jog from one state to the next and describe their day-to-day experiences. The most memorable' passage in the book is when one member of the group sprains his ankle while running away from a verocious dog. The book is for idiots, but if you have nothing else better to do, or if you're in a hurry, you can read it in twenty minutes. Nerdtown, U.S.A.: This is a fiction book Of how every major nerd in America was captured and placed in one huge security camp in North Dakota. The author, a genuine nerd by birth, describes the various lifestyles of the nerds in Nerdtown. This book tends to ramble a little, but the author gives a number of interesting insights into nerds. Nerdtown, U.S.A. is recommended reading during lunch breaks. English and English: A Comparative Study: The author embarks on an exhaustive comparison of languages, forgets he is comparing identical languages and completely goes out of his mind. The book is obviously not so much a study of languages, but rather a journey into the author's detereorating brain. The final words in this fascinating book are, "I am numb. I am numb. I am numb." Because of the intense emotions expressed inEngB$h and English: A Comparative Study, it is not highly recommended for children. As fwjk past the library, I hear the Ten O'Clock Whistle. |
