I would have to say the phrase "too much information" passed through my brain toward the end of this op-ed piece from the Daily Princetonian but it certainly entertained me. Here is one interesting paragraph:

"For people who are really interested in finding out about things and engaging ideas, the excitement of libraries is sensual and visceral as well as cerebral. Emerson, the greatest of all oped writers, and the most quotable of all the Victorian sages, says that "A man's library is a kind of harem". And if he dared to say it, I dare to quote it, even without the sort of prudent gender modification that might spare me a few emails. (Somehow "A person's library is a kind of singles' bar" just doesn't cut it.) Emerson is not what you would call a lubricious writer, but he knew what excitement was and where to find the action."

And here is what I didn't really need to know:

"...libraries are the sexiest places, and librarians the sexiest people, on earth. Furthermore I've always had a particular thing about librarians with buns, especially when the bun is complemented by a long yellow Eberhard Faber number two lead pencil worn behind the ear."

Thanks to Michael Madison for bringing this to my attention.
