In the context of the “death with dignity” discussion, commenter cthulhu suggested a book called Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frenkl, which is prominent enough to have its own wikipedia entry.

So I popped into the library to check it out.  And, of the three copies, one was missing, the other two were already checked out, and, besides that, there were two holds already.

So either this humble blog’s small readership is so local that everyone ran off to the library just before I did, based on cthulhu’s recommendation, or — what?  It doesn’t seem likely reading material for a high school class.  Maybe it’s assigned reading at the local community college and four students decided they didn’t want to buy the book?  Maybe it’s connection to the Maynard issue is so strong that it sent everyone running who had once read and wanted to re-read it?  Anyway, it’s just an interesting coincidence.

Now back to the election returns/kitchen clean-up combo, and two more kids to chase to bed!
