A large library can house many activities besides reading; they’re like the Labyrinth , except without Bowie. The opportunities for drinking, picking people up, napping, and doing what you do in the stacks become endless once the library gets large enough, which is why it behooves you to go to a school with a big one— even if it means having to pretend you’re studying.
