What are you reading right now? (possible RotE spoilers)

I think checkout terminals are freaky, at least the one at the university library is. You don't have to scan barcodes or anything, you just pile the books on a table and it sees what you're borrowing. How the heck does that work??

That sounds downright spooky!!!
Ours uses barcodes - you scan your library card then your books...... phew, understandable!

Hopefully nobody I know reads this (*gulp*!!) but I'm sure I'm one of only maybe five people who actually borrow books from there (and three of the remaining four are my kids )...the rest of the population tends to only use it as a place to go online.

Hehehee now you know why I won't post my picture!!!! (in case anyone I know comes here hehehee I can say anything I want YEAH!)
On a slightly related note to your locals not going to the library, I think Tasmania has the highest rate of adults who are illiterate. My boyfriend said he'd never had anyone come into the store he works at and ask for him to read something to them before we moved here and now it's happened many times!
But the libraries are certainly well used!
