Library Browsing Reinforces the Small World Principle
While I was waiting at the reference desk at my local public library tonight for a librarian to finish with another customer, I picked up a book on the display in front of the reference desk: “Walking Across America.” I looked at the back cover to see if it said what the book was about and was surprised to read a blurb about a book about some woman named Jessamyn West who left California to go to Europe. When the librarian came back, I put the book down. I forgot the title of Jessamyn’s book by the time I got to the car. Whatever it is, it’s on my (long) reading list.
I met a Jessamyn this weekend when she was in town for some talks at Simmons College and BloggerCon.

Jessamyn West [the other one] is an amazing fiction writer from Indiana who moved west with her family and lived in Napa Valley when it was all orange groves. She writes great stuff. To make the world even smaller, I have a Jessamyn West page on jessamyn.com….
