Almost immediately, I hit a snag. It is close to impossible to browse a serious library’s collection of porn and porn criticism without getting sucked into big, sexy historical theories. Within an hour of my visit to Harvard’s Widener Library, I was beginning to suspect that smut had been behind the rise of … everything.

Posting will be light this week--I'm coming down with a case of the crud and we will be adding a (four-legged) member to the family. More on her later since she'll be on a TV show this year.
I'll leave you with The Paris Review blog's article on some librarian fantasies. Feel free to discuss among yourselves...

Where were the librarians like this in my college years!
I like the realization that smut might have been behind the rise of everything.
Uh, yeah. An overstatement, but probably not by much.
