And, given the mess that is our state economy, with proposed cuts to education, including libraries and PreK programs, I think that perhaps we will not have to long worry about whether Literature is Funny or Serious as no one will be able to read much of anything anyway.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-26320466953981904922011-03-05T06:52:10.256-06:002011-03-05T06:52:10.256-06:00Luckily, Heather, libraries are not devoted entire...Luckily, Heather, libraries are not devoted entirely to books with literary value.
