I have found a new favorite way to get books to read. I installed greasemonkey on my computer and hacked a script to use for my own use. Now, when I use firefox and look up a book on Amazon, firefox automatically provides a link to that book on the library website. From there, I click on the reserve a book link and place a request for the book at the library. Later I get an email from the library when my books are ready, and I can stop by and have my books in about two minutes. I never knew libraries could be this fun. Now, I need to learn to read faster since there are so many books I want to read.
