Books: Protect your local library. Also, that judge who ruled against HCR is lacking a functioning brain

The people in Egypt, in addition to fighting for their inalienable rights, are also working together to protect the library in Alexandria. Fucking bad-ass!  (Guardian).  What's more, the Brits are doing the same thing (although they're fighting budget cuts, not looters).  Not about books, but worthy of a read all the same:  NYRB takes up the latest court decisions on HCR and finds that the judges who are ruling HCR is unconstitutional are fucking dumb-asses -- legally speaking.
