They really just took all the joy and innocence out of reading for me with that move....we used to neeeever give back no library books...we would just collect em,they would tell you that you couldn't get no more til you bring the last ones back...but a few months would pass and they would either forgive you or the papertrail would disappear and they would give you some more books the next time you came back...But not no more,i opened up that collection letter and this MJ song started playin in my head...."Have you seen my childhoooooood"
