.@studiolyons @BoingBoing Who says? I can find newest works anywhere. It's the odd, quirky books I'm delighted to find in libraries.
As a reader, I find it deeply disturbing that "book-culling software" even exists.
'Chuck Finley' is great pseudonym to use while throwing your shoes into the heart of a heartless machine
Also I love that they named the fake patron "Chuck Finley", but I don't know how many will get the reference
... me: *googles "Chuck Finley"*
I didn't realize that Chunk Finley was a baseball player. I just have a man-crush on Bruce Campbell.
@austin_walker you could do what we do when our software tells us to weed a book you don't want to - you ignore it
I applaud Chuck Finley and his creators too! We are tossing too much that can't be replaced.
