I also have the paperback, but it's somewhere deep in our attic. I'd like to read it as an adult, I've not read this as a grown, wide eyes open adult. I'm getting to the library though. Speaking of the public library, you know, you can research at the library if you need to. When I was a librarian, we were told we cannot tell authorities what someone is looking at on the net when asked. It was stressed like 10 times in my first orientation day. Just be sure to take your zip and hide it. I know many are nervous as hell doing research in public or home on their personal computer. I'm sure certain sites, like this one aren't blocked. I know that's how I caught my kids using twitter though a long time ago. I was researching genealogy and my bonehead kid left her name and pass right under the keyboard. While I worked there, so she knew I had to clean under the board. Librarians can't even tell the parents of a kid that's used the computer what they looked at, only that they signed in. That's all sacred and private and is treated seriously, at least where I worked. So it's an idea for those researching the women's end of things, some of their twitters might make one's spouse raise an eyebrow and think we're up to no good. The library is peaceful, and you can break away and grab a funny book or something as there's many things at your disposal at the library. I'm double checking that it's still a duty to remain silent and treat patron's privacy as if it were my own, I can't imagine it was changed.
