I went to the library recently and two things stood out. One, the "No Smoking" sign had advertising -- an url for some car related thing. Well, that's better than going to (true story) movie urinal and having people looking at you via advertising. I think the best thing to do with ads next to urinals is not to have humans in the ads. Sort of creepy.
Two, this book was available. Love the cover. There are a series of "hard case" paperbacks (read a couple; fun) with great covers, but that's a keeper. Don't know about the book itself. The "look inside" at Amazon has it starting off tediously. His Diet of Treacle, originally published in 1961, was a good read. I see some people did enjoy Getting Off. It's one of those books that "self checkout" is made for, I think.
The library is a sort of hole in the wall neighborhood one, which has certain charms such as convenience, but there are some nice branch libraries in the NYPL system. Battery Park City (Manhattan) has one with a lot of space and within view of the river. The new Kingsbridge branch also is pretty nice. Public libraries, provided for you thanks to the system one party finds so horrible today.
