I finally subscribed to the LJ community What Was That Book? The other day. Cool concept, I'm struck by how ace commenters are at finding things...
But I think I have to unsubscribe, since half the queries seem to be for obvious classics of children's (or adult) literature - not genuinely hard to find or obscure things, which okay, perhaps that's part of the joy of the community, but I was looking for lower volume, more gems. But also, does every other post have to begin, "I read this when I was in second grade, in the mid 1990s..." I am beginning to feel positively geriatric!
