Glad He Loves His Day Job

Diving into this book of "Funny, Strange, and Inspiring Dispatches from the Stacks", I had high hopes. What's not to anticipate gleefully about that description? There were some funny anecdotes, and some strange ones, too, but the book was easily 50% comprised of either his own personal foibles in trying to land a library job or the day to day minutiae of library work. While I appreciate that this is his real life, and we get that librarians actually WORK all day, I don't find reading how they managed to get state accreditation and funding all that riveting. I came away from reading this book appreciating William's attention to detail (lovely grammar, punctuation, etc.), and thinking he's a very nice person and would be nice to work with. However, I won't be eagerly awaiting his next book.
