"Revisiting the Backlist: Marrying Libraries" by Anne Fadiman.* So very yes. Moving in together was not, itself, a big deal -- that it meant merging our libraries made it a Very Big Commitment. Especially the questions of whose duplicate copy to cull. (via?)

Star Wars characters reimagined as 1980s high school comedy characters. (via)

Quaker humor may be a rather specialized thing,** but in case it tickles you, "What Does George Fox Say?" I fell over laughing, myself. FWIW, the chorus is all real quotes. (via)

* If you haven't read her Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader, I highly recommend it. If you have, I highly recommend rereading it.

** "Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world, but thou standeth where I am about to shoot."

I like the Quaker video! It's got a bit of a Horrible Histories vibe, which is no small compliment.

"Revisiting the Backlist" is a good read, but is Ex Libris along similar lines? There's something about the tone--just me, I bet.
