Why is it that whenever you have a really large book to read, that's been published for a long time, that you're planning on taking on your car trip to Utah for 3 weeks (15ish hours to drive one way people), one stupid person requests it from the library and lo and behold, the only other copy is conveniently "Lost", so you'll have to return it to the library before you ever leave, because it would be WAY overdue by the time you got back and now you can't renew it.  Grrrrr.
