I know I shouldn't find this as funny as I do, but I just can't help it. We have a patron that the reference staff is not fond of. MK is rude, can be verbally abusive when she thinks we are taking too long, and cheats on her summer/winter reading club book log. And those are her better qualities. I don't want to say that she is the spawn of Satan, but if Satan had a godmother or a favorite aunt MK would be it.
Anyway, MK came in yesterday to complain about a book she had checked out and ask us to remove it from our shelves. The book in question is How to Make Love Like a Porn Star by Jenna Jameson. MK checked it out thinking that the author was being facetious in giving her story this title. Needless to say she was very surprised to find that the story was (in her words) nothing but, "filth, filth, filth!"
Hee hee hee.
I can't even work up a little outrage that someone is challenging a book in our collection. I'm too amused by the thought of MK reading chapter after chapter in this book. And MK being the type of person that she is, I know that she didn't stop reading at the first objectionable thing she found. That's not who she is as a reader.
I need to grow up.
