Librarians everywhere hate me

You know though, Alex... sometimes that helps. I was in a bookstore trying to find Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and had forgotten the name of the book. So I mentioned something about the guy having two dads, and it was on Oprah. A lightbulb went on for the bookstore guy because he'd had TONS of people coming in for it (Getting your book on Oprah does amazing things for sales, you know), so he knew exactly which book I was looking for.

If "science fiction book that was on NPR" had been highly requested in the last week, chances are you'd have known about it from past people hunting for it. (But hey, who listens to NPR anymore? j/k)

edit: Oh, and I just have to say... when I saw this thread on "new posts" I originally read it as "Libertarians everywhere hate me," and I was wondering why libertarians would have problems with you returning books late
