"…Homer Kelley basked in happiness. He adored libraries, any library, from a closet full of books in a rural town hall to the vast collections of Widener Library in Harvard Yard. To Homer, libraries were holy places like churches, and the priestly librarians a blessed race, a saving remnant in a world of sin. Whenever God grew impatient and decided to destroy the world he remembered the librarians and stayed his hand. At least that was Homer's opinion."

Hmmm... I decided I must have a lot in common with this Homer Kelly except basically, I adored the librarians rather than the libraries... and also bank tellers... and check out girls... and waitresses... and...
You think this is what Homer was like?
Nope. Homer is an ex-detective turned Harvard professor/writer. And he truly loves libraries and admires the intelligence of librarians. Now be honest with yourself, isn't that what you love about me?
I like my version better but yes P.H., I do love that about you!
