Soporific Reads returns!
Pickle Me This devotees will be glad to see the return of an old favourite feature. Last year I worked at the library in the afternoons and kept track of books clutched by snoring undergraduates. This year I work the morning shift and there are far fewer sleepers (I suspect they stay in bed instead) but today I spotted one!
The first soporific read in ages: a young girl dreaming away to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Avid readers will be happy to know there are readers sleeping in the library. Today the soporific text is a mystery novel, Devil in a Blue Dress.

Third in a Series
Isn’t political science soporific! Today a book called “Great Powers and the European State System” is putting the kids to sleep. It did look a bit dry.

Sleepytime Book of the Week
New feature here at Pickle Me This. We are going to begin keeping track of what the sleeping people in the library were reading as they nodded off. Today’s tome is Plato’s Republic.
