Piercing, Sucking Mouthparts

I just got a library card, after living in New York for about two and a half years. It's more than a little surprising that it took me this long to hook, lamprey-like, to the succulent underbelly of the New York Public Library.

I took out The Master (Toibin), The Book on the Book, Underworld (Delillo), and Summerland (Chabon).
